Re: Misery with Pocket Aces
Never play aces with less than a 6x bb raise except when its already heads-up and then you can minraise.
Auto pot the flop and if there is a king or a queen on board, back it with your stack. If you get a reraise post-flop with a drawless, low card board you might be up against a set. Stack size comes into play at this point.
Also, you have to remember not to trap multiway with aces. They are relatively easy to outdraw, and the main benefit is getting all in against KK/QQ/AK and top pair on the flop. Just don't think they are anything special post-flop (they aren't), and you will be ok.
