the last 3 times i have had pocket AA's i have lost/knockout off tournements.

I have aa raised it 3x BB 1 called. FLOP JC, KS, 7H.

The turn was a 9 the river was a 9.

    so when u got in you were a big fave. The fact the villain caugh outs to beat you is not in your control. Bad beats are par for the course. Try not to base your strategies on them

    I found myself laying them if I let people see the flop for 3 or 4 x BB after the flop has pairs or straights etc and they all in.


    My current tactic is if I am in early position, limp or min raise and just hope you get lucky.


    If your late position, all in. Take the pot down pre-flop or hope to  get called by someone with AK AQ or a pair and hope you get lucky.

    I would only limp in early pos with AA if i was VERY confident of being raised behind, allowing me te re raise.

    Raise more on the turn to price out the flush draw.

    YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THEM HAVING A SET PLAN NEVER WORKS.
    IF YOUVE GOT SOMEONE PLAYING AGRESIVE ON TABLE PLAY THEM SLOWLY.IF NOT THEN GET THE POT TO A DECENT SIZE PRE FLOP THEN SEE WHAT COMES IN THEN REASSES. AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY DONT GET MARRIED TO THEM.

    One word.....


    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!


    A few more words then....

    You were ahead when the money went in. Don't worry about what happened next, nothing you can do about it.

    How did you play the AA the other two times?

    I wouldn't worry too much though, I once had aces cracked eight times in a row, it happens :)

    As the saying goes AA either wins small or loses big. AA in late position usually brings bigger rewards than in early position. Either push all-in or be prepared to fold. Slow playing them is dangerous,needs skill to read the player and the board, and often leads to a fold post flop. AA works best in a one-on-one situation so you really must isolate preflop. 3x BB won't generally do that.

    i've lost too many pots, slow playing Ace Ace and King King.  

    If I get them,  I am all in pre flop,  if some one calls and beats me so be it.
