Poker Aces – learning to wager them
Posted in Poker on 11/21/2010 04:21 am by IzaiahPoker Aces refers to two aces dealt pre-flop. It’s the best possible before theflop hand intexas hold’em Poker. But despite this a great many players end up on the losing end when given these cards.
When you are given a pair of Aces, you just do not fold pre-flop. You are positioned with the greatest possible hand at this stage of the round. So how do you gamble with Poker Aces ? Do you basically go all-in? I would say absolutely no to that.
Always remember, you are attempting to produce as much profit from this strong position. You want to maximise the possibility. Going all-in will merely drive most players into folding and not placing a wager.
If you’re in the early spot (first or second to bet), you’ll place a single wager. Any person with decent cards will call, with hope someone might raise. If there has been a raise don’t spring to re-raise or call, wait for a small bit – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
After the flop your tactic will be to eliminate anyone that might be able to get a straight or a flush. So I would begin to raise boldly, if you’re lucky you’ll trick 1 player into thinking that you are bluffing.
If you are in the center or late position (near the last to cast a bet) you will observe as everybody calls and then raise. Even though you’re holding a pair of aces, if you can try to abstain from a show-down. Guard your hand by making the other players drop out following the flop. If you do not abolish your competition you risk losing your hand.
