Poker Aces – learning to gamble them
Monday, 8. March 2010
Poker Aces refers to two aces dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest attainable pre-flop hand inholdem Poker. But regardless a good many players find themselves on the wrong end when given this hand.
When you’re given a set of Aces, you just do not fold before theflop. You are positioned with the best possible hand at this stage of the round. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you actually go all-in? I’d say no to that.
Always remember, you are attempting to produce as much profit from this strong position. You need to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will actually drive most competitors into folding and not putting a bet.
If you are in the early spot (first or 2nd to bet), you’ll lay a single wager. Any person with good cards will call, with luck someone may raise. If someone has made a raise don’t hop to re-raise or call, pause for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
After the flop your strategy will be to get rid of anybody that could be able to get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise boldly, if you are fortunate you will fool one player into believing that you are tricking.
If you are in the center or later spot (one of the last to place a wager) you will observe as everyone calls and then raise. Even with you holding a pair of aces, if possible try to abstain from a show-down. Defend your hand by forcing others to fold after the flop. If you do not abolish your competition you risk squandering your hand.
