Default Re: Guide to No Limit Holdem Tournament Play

B. Playing AA

If there are several limpers to you with AA or several players have called a raise, you should make a small raise or reraise, not big enough to make anyone fold. Remember, you have a big hand and you want action. If there is one player who has raised, make a very small reraise or flat call to trap him after the flop.



Betgo - this is really terrible advice for how to play AA.

AA when facing many limpers, should always be FOLDED.

Further more, when facing a raise, and callers, AA should always be FOLDED.

Both of those pots will be multiway, and we don't want to be forced to play AA into a multiway pot when we know we will never win with it.

Further more, if stacks are deep, and you get to open with the first bet, you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS go all in with AA pre-flop. This way you can just take the blinds when they are small and not worry about having to make a decision on the flop or turn.
