How to play AA?
Hello Everyone. I just started playing poker online, and i play what I think generally would be considered micro-stakes (.25/.50 nl hold em). The outcome has been pretty good so far, and I average about a 35 dollar win each day, from 90 minutes/day.
I have some questions considering playing pocket aces. When i´m lucky enough to get that hand, my main goal is to get some loose player go heads-up (preferably all-in) with me pre-flop by check-raising from EP or raising LP, if there are many callers. Which isn't always easy, but i've managed to pull it through sometimes. Now to my questions: 1. Is this the right way to play it, and if not, how should i play it? 2. What is the probability my A A will still be the best hand after the river, if I go heads-up preflop in a nine-player game. I’ll be grateful to all answers concerning this matter. / Swedish Newbie |

You should post this question on the no limit small stakes forum.

Fold preflop to avoid being sucked out on.

The right way to play AA is to get into a preflop capped family pot every time.

Raise, raise, raise AA preflop - you've got the best of it!

Be prepared for your wins to start leveling off, and even some losing days, though. Even if you're 4-tabling and playing 250 hands per hour, you're reporting a win rate of over 18 BB/100. (Even at micro-limits, most agree that anything over 4-5 BB/100 is unsustainable). |
