AA strategy

[dachord]

I play in a regular ring game and am encountering a recurring problem whenever I get pocket aces. If I slow play or or make moderate raises, too many players stay in and invariably one of those players win on the turn or the river. If I push, too many people fold and I only win a small pot. Any advice on betting strategy?

You'd hardly ever slowplay A's PF unless say you're on the button its folded to you and you know the blinds are tight. In this situation I'd limp, however in most situations raising is the correct play, even if you win a smaller pot, limping PF and on the river with A's in a multiway pot is suicide and -EV.

It sucks when everyone folds but there's not a great deal you can do about it. It happens to all of us.
