Poker Aces – learning to wager them
by Maci on Nov.06, 2010, under Poker
Poker Aces references two aces dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest attainable before theflop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this many bettors end up on the wrong end when dealt these cards.
When you’re given a set of Aces, you just don’t drop out pre-flop. You are positioned with the best possible hand at this part of the round. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you actually go all-in? I would say absolutely no to that.
Bear in mind, you’re trying to generate as much profit from this strong position. You want to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will basically scare most competitors into dropping out before putting a bet.
If you are in the early spot (1st or second to actually bet), you’ll lay a single bet. Any player with decent cards will call, with luck a person will raise. If someone has made a raise do not hop to re-raise or call, pause for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
Following the flop your plan will be to eliminate any player that could get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you’re lucky you’ll fool 1 player into believing that you are bluffing.
If you are in the center or late spot (near the last to cast a bet) you’ll watch as everybody calls and then raise. Even with you holding a pair of aces, if you can try to abstain from a show-down. Protect your hand by making the other players fold following the flop. If you do not get rid of your opponents you risk losing your hand.
