Poker Aces – learning to bet them
Monday, 19. April 2010
Poker Aces references two aces dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest attainable pre-flop hand inholdem Poker. But regardless a large number of players end up on the wrong end when dealt this hand.
When you’re dealt a pair of Aces, you just do not drop out before theflop. You’re sitting with the greatest possible hand at this stage of the game. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I’d say definitely no to that.
Keep in mind, you are attempting to earn as much profit from this strong position. You will want to maximise the possibility. Going all-in will merely scare most competitors into dropping out without laying a wager.
If you are in the initial seat (first or 2nd to place a bet), you’ll make a single wager. Anybody with a decent hand will call, with luck a person may raise. If someone has made a raise do not spring 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 tactic will be to eliminate anybody that might get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you are lucky you’ll trick one player into believing that you are bluffing.
If you are in the center or late spot (one of the last to wager) you will observe as everybody calls and then raise. Even though you are holding a pair of aces, if possible try to avoid a show-down. Protect your hand by making the other players fold after the flop. If you don’t force out your competition you risk squandering your hand.
