Poker Aces references two aces being dealt pre-flop. It is the strongest attainable before theflop hand inhold’em Poker. But regardless many bettors find themselves on the wrong end when dealt this hand.
When you’re dealt a set of Aces, you just don’t drop out before theflop. You’re sitting with the best possible hand at this stage of the game. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I’d say definitely no to that.
Always remember, you’re looking to acquire as much profit out of this strong position. You will want to maximise the possibility. Going all-in will basically scare most gamblers into folding before making a bet.
If you’re in the early seat (first or 2nd to place a wager), you’ll lay a single bet. Anybody with a decent hand will call, with hope somebody will raise. If there has been a raise do not hop to re-raise or call, wait for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
After the flop your strategy will be to get rid of any player that could be able to build a straight or a flush. So I would begin to raise aggressively, if you’re fortunate you will trick one player into thinking that you’re faking it.
If you’re in the middle or late spot (near the last to cast a bet) you’ll watch as every player calls and then raise. Even with you holding a pair of aces, if you can try to avoid a show-down. Defend your hand by making the other players drop out following the flop. If you do not abolish your adversaries you risk losing your hand.
