pocket aces hates me.
i win maybe 40% of the time with them.
I've got them twice in the last two days. Going heads up, I won against J2 and lost against 67 suited (two pair on flop).
How has your luck been with them?
Does anybody know the percentage they win heads up? Or possibly against 2 others?

Sorry dude, you're not good enough to defy sta ical law.
Aces win about 83% of the time over a smaller pair. Against 2 under cards, it depends on what they are but the best 2 cards against pocket aces are 67 suited and aces still win 75% of the time.

rockets is my kryptonite.
i threw them away once it was that bad for a while.
Pocket Queens hate me, I always lose with those es.
Pocket Aces on the other hand... I always seem to flop trips and was only beaten once by a guy who had a full house. er.
Don't believe it. Not preflop anyway.
So many people complain about pocket aces, but no matter how many times I lose with them, I'd still like to have them.

I went like two or three months without getting pocket aces until the last time I played. Got 'em twice and won both hands.
Key to playing AA is to play them heads up if possible.
Amen. When I first started playing I've love to see callers when I had aces. Now I ing dread it.
Here is a story about a pair of rockets that fatefully found themselves to me at the Mirage not but 3 weeks ago.
Warning... this is so sick it may not be safe for work. Bring your own barf bag.

that sucks...
This is true story. I am playing online right now, I go to club and see thid thread, click on it and boom, I get AA at that very moment. I win after the guy to my right bets 200 on 9 6 3 flop, and I raise to 400.
But it was unbelievable that I got AA right after open this thread.
AA should never allow 67 or J2 to stay in the game. You should always raise the pot large enough to chase that trash out.
If I get AA or KK, I am going all in as soon as I can. You don't want some bull taken your glory.
I raised to 350 when the blinds were at 50-100. There was only four other players at the table and I did want one caller or else my dominating hand was wasted. Some people are bold enough to stay on hands like that or possibly believe I was trying to steal blinds - I don't think he thought I was trying to steal though.
With how the table was, I'm not going to go all-in and just win a small and big blind for the best preflop hand.
The other day I made it to the final two tables of a 167 tournament. I was average well off on chips, but I needed to make a move to keep up with the blinds and other stacks. The blinds were 1-2000 and I had one caller in front of me with the small blind after me. I got A4 and went all-in for 6,600 on top. Small folds. Big folds. Caller calls with 98 suited and hits a straight.
Not to say A4 was an overpowering hand in a situation, but the guy staying in trying to see a "cheap" flop didn't know what I had but he was bold enough to play. The loss would have crippled him. If I get beat on those, I get beat. If you play, you deserve to win. 89s isn't bad anyway.
ps thanks Kori
Noted.
I can imagine the blinds being 10-25 and you going all in for 1500. Even if you had 27os you could have my big blind for that much.
Not playing your aces correctly will lose you money in the long run believe it or not. (profit wise)
Again, you do not want to go all in, unless you are short stacked or going against someone who is short stacked. Just make a big raise and when the flop comes and it does not help the bas with the 89 much, he will fold to your pot sized or larger bet. If you go all in, then your aces are susceptable to the lucky runner runner cards on the turn and river, and you are hopless to do anything about it.
AA is a powerful hand only preflop and in other ceratian cir stances.
you also gotto remember how the clowns shuffle the cards, and u can actually see the trend of the cards on the table, thats what i usually do when playin with friends.
Aces are awesome in limit and tournament games, and they are defiently awesome in NL cash games. But in NL cash games, the notion that you win small pots and lose big ones with aces is almost true. You can lose a of a lot of big pots with them.
Just got my AA cracked to J3. Flop came j95 I raised the pot he call turn comes a 2 I go all-in he calls and hits his 3 on the river.
Now see? I would never allow J-3 to stay in a game when I have Pocket Rockets. I always raise the blinds at least 300% with AA. Only a fool stays in with 3-J with a 300% raise. I want KK, QQ JJ AK to stay in, but not anything else.
I raised 3.5x the blinds and the guy called. I'm perfectly happy with the call too. I was an 83% favorite before and after the flop, and then an 89% favorite on the turn. I'm putting all my money in everytime, if he sucks out sobeit. If the best hand won everytime Poker would not be nearly as popular and profitable for good players.
That's not always true, especially if you are in late position and the blinds are folded around, the last thing you want is to get no action with your pocket A's
As I said, you want action from good hands(KK, QQ, JJ), not 3 J. You can not read the flop when someone has 3 J.....If 3 5 9 flops, you are dead meat, because you will bet huge on that flop, and he will just call probably, then you have to deal with the boat coming up as well.
However, if KK, QQ or JJ calls, and the flop delivers a set to one of those, then they will reraise you and you will see that they have the set, you fold and all you lost is about 600% of the blinds and not your whole stack.
