Poker Aces refers to two aces dealt pre-flop. It is the strongest possible before theflop hand inholdem Poker. But regardless a large number of bettors end up on the losing end when given this hand.

When you are dealt a set of Aces, you just don’t fold before theflop. You are sitting with the best possible hand at this part of the game. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you actually go all-in? I would say no to that.

Remember, you are looking to earn as much money from this strong position. You need to maximize the possibility. Going all-in will actually scare most gamblers into dropping out before putting a wager.

If you are in the initial spot (1st or 2nd to wager), you’ll place a single bet. Any player with good cards will call, hopefully a player will raise. If someone has made a raise do not spring to re-raise or call, wait for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.

After the flop your tactic will be to get rid of anybody that might get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise boldly, if you are fortunate you’ll fool one player into believing that you’re tricking.

If you’re in the center or late seat (near the last to wager) you will watch as everyone calls and then raise. Even though you’re sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to avoid a show-down. Protect your hand by forcing others to fold following the flop. If you don’t drive out your opponents you chance squandering your hand.
