Play AA at your peril

Twice at the weekend at important stages of a tourney, now the cash tables have a laugh at my expense. Shoot me down for the first one but the second one was against a player that played in probably 90% of hands for well over 2 hours and there is no way he had a q.

    in the 1st hand why are you not re-raising him on that flop? You deserve too lose with aces playing like that

    2nd hand you cant get away from

    I really dont know why i didnt re-raise flop or turn, maybe i knew what was coming. Even with a re-raise i think he is calling it so maybe i saved myself i bit of cash.

    Bigger preflop bet for me both times. I've been caught out too many times. First handi think he calls a post flop raise but i'm defo all in on the turn . He can only call with a set or paired Q with a big kicker maybe?

    bad excuse, you raise it pre then when he donk bets into you, you decide to just flat every street if you are just going to flat flop at least bump it up on the turn, but flop i would be re raising turn setting him in and if he calls river losing but you still have to at least put him to some sort of test

    wouldnt say i am the best player ever, we all make mistakes mate, keep ya chin up and rise back, but the first aces you had maybe you should have warned him and not let him catch gutshot str8 or his trips! my opinion doesnt mean i am right tho, Head up! :)

    lets be honest unless its an unbelivable draw heavy board your moneys going in everytime so charge them a fortune to hit there draws, especially here on sky!

    when delt Aces im pleased to pick up the blinds everytime with a very agressive raise pre flop, your either winnin minimal or going broke with aces on this site in my opinion

    So you want to just win the blinds with Aces? Maybe I'm being leveled, what is a level by the way, I'm thick ?

    Dudeskin you ever had aces on sky?

    If you have then youl know what im talking about, your either winning minimal or going broke, either way youve gotta put a big raise in pre flop.

    By the time it gets to the flop your getting your money in and loosin to somebody whose decided to call ur weak raise with suited connectors or a pcoket pair and hit a set, eitherway ur going broke.

    Take the advice lado, what is the post called again? "Play AA at your Peril?"

    Good Luck

    Yes I have had them, although not enough imo lol

    I usually win very nice pots on Sky with them, when I don't win it's when someone calls a bet getting bad odds and hits their 'out', this is bad for me but long term as John Tabatabi (spelling) said on one of the cash shows (where they had a guy who actually speaks proper, not enough of late sadly) that if you play it the right way over time your basically printing money against that guy.

    You mention guy calls your 'weak' raise, why are we raising weak with big hand? No, you raise big with big hands you then bet big on flop with big hands. Big Big Big BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGG wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    Oh and it is LOSING, not LOOSING which is not a word, you can however be a LOOSE player but not a LOSE player, although you can be a LOSING player. ;)

    Generally speaking, every street makes your aces worse. They rarely improve and when they do there's either an A on board (so you don't get paid) or a paired board, when you could be in trouble.
    Fantastic to have them heads up or short stacked, but actually quite vulnerable. They're only one pair after all. The problem often is that people think they have a God-given right to win a hand when they're dealt them.
