Poker Aces – how to gamble them

July 27th, 2012 by Jaime Leave a reply »

Poker Aces references two aces dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest possible pre-flop hand intexas hold’em Poker. But despite this a great many bettors find themselves on the wrong end when given these cards.

When you’re dealt a set of Aces, you just do not fold pre-flop. You’re sitting with the best possible hand at this part of the game. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I would say absolutely no to that.

Remember, you’re looking to produce as much profit out of this strong position. You want to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will merely scare most players into dropping out before laying a bet.

If you’re in the early spot (1st or 2nd to cast a bet), you’ll make a single wager. Any player with good cards will call, with hope someone will raise. If someone has made a raise do not jump to re-raise or call, pause for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.

After the flop your course of action will be to get rid of anybody that might be able to build a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you’re fortunate you’ll trick one player into believing that you’re faking it.

If you are in the middle or late spot (one of the last to bet) you’ll watch as every player calls and then raise. Even though you’re sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to avert a show-down. Protect your hand by making the other players fold after the flop. If you do not force out your competition you chance losing your hand.
