I think flatting with aces against a 4bet or higher is one of the solver-approved strategies I like regardless of opponent strength. Against strong opponents it's good for protecting your calling-a-4bet range. Against weak opponents, forget protection, but they will probably think just flatting means you can't have aces. Which makes a trap all the more appealing when you do have aces. Against a limp or open, I'm still raising 100% of the time with aces.

People who hate AA should try counting their fingers, just to see if they can add up to 10. Nothing I don't love when I wake up with rockets. If I lose, that's variance, as long as I play competently. Thanks again from tiny Chevron Island, Qld.

I check-folded AA in the MD state main event on a monotone flop where I did not have the suit. I opened in EP, and got two callers in position and one in the BB. One of my cold callers bet, and the BB x/r’ed, before I folded.

Somewhat related to playing them aggressively....suggestions of showing your hand to a relatively soft table win or lose? Is there enough benefit so that they are more likely to believe you have it in the future and your bluff success goes up?

How about when the flop board is paired, e.g. 2 queens or 2 jacks? How does that affect the post flop play?

If u always 5 bet and 6 bet aces, what are ur bluffs when 5 betting? Without bluffs everyone will always just fold
@ThePokerBank10 ай бұрын
Nobody said not to bluff too =) Blocker hands like A5s can be solid candidates
@BaadMotorFinger10 ай бұрын
Well AK is technically a bluff since its behind against pairs, and this gets 5 bet a lot
@MrNicePotato6 ай бұрын
If they fold just let them? You win immediately, they lose all of their equity and that's good. You don't always get someone to call into you and get stacked but that's normal.

@Aman_2020_8 ай бұрын
You give amazing advice, but you got one thing wrong, there is a situation where in cash folding aces is the right move. Just run a poker calculator and start by blocking aces with AK, AQ, then give someone JJ, after that just start handing out suited connectors across and Aces will get down to below 10% equity. I have seen this spot happen a handful of times only in many many years. Though it's a bad strategy to fold because it might happen!
@ThePokerBank8 ай бұрын
Cheers Aman. That is such a hyper-specific configuration, but interesting none the less =)
@Aman_2020_8 ай бұрын
I thought you may find that interesting! In Omaha it gets even crazier, Top set can be the nuts on the turn and be under 10% equity against 4 opponents! And the hands required to make that happen are commonly played. This position happens way more than the holdem scenario. I would be a watcher if you started Omaha content haha. @@ThePokerBank

Can you specify the suits of AK,AQ and so on? Because when I did this AA still had around 18% equity. Even though 65 suited was just 1-2% below, AA still had the highest equity and was nowhere below 10%. Also you would have to know their hands exactly which is not possible. Never fold AA preflop in Cashgame (if you do your BR management is screwed probably)
