Poker Aces refers to two aces dealt pre-flop. It is the strongest attainable pre-flop hand inTexas Holdem Poker. But regardless many competitors end up on the losing end when given these cards.
When you are dealt a pair of Aces, you just don’t fold pre-flop. You’re positioned with the best achievable hand at this part of the round. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you actually go all-in? I’d say no to that.
Always remember, you’re trying to earn as much profit from this strong position. You need to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will basically scare most competitors into folding before placing a bet.
If you’re in the starting spot (first or 2nd to cast a bet), you’ll make a single wager. Anyone with a decent hand will call, with luck a person might raise. If someone has made a raise don’t jump to re-raise or call, wait for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
Following the flop your strategy will be to get rid of any player that might be able to build a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise boldly, if you are fortunate you will trick one player into believing that you are faking it.
If you are in the middle or later spot (one of the last to wager) you’ll watch as everyone calls and then raise. Even though you are holding a pair of aces, if possible try to avert a show-down. Guard your hand by forcing the other players drop out after the flop. If you don’t force out your opponents you risk squandering your hand.
