Poker Aces references two aces being dealt before theflop. It is the strongest attainable before theflop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this a great many competitors end up on the losing end when given this hand.

When you’re given a set of Aces, you just don’t fold before theflop. You’re sitting with the best achievable hand at this stage of the game. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I would say no to that.

Always remember, you are trying to produce as much money out of this strong position. You want to maximise the possibility. Going all-in will simply scare most players into folding before laying a wager.

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

Following the flop your strategy will be to get rid of anyone that could be able to build a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you’re fortunate you will trick 1 player into thinking that you are faking it.

If you’re in the middle or late seat (near the last to wager) you’ll watch as everyone calls and then raise. Even though you are sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to avoid a show-down. Defend your hand by making others to drop out following the flop. If you do not force out your competitors you chance losing your hand.
