Pocket Aces

HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU RAISE PRE FLOP WITH POCKET ACES
Miklosik

There is no pat answer to your question.  And it's been addressed many times in this forum.  How many people at the table?  What position are you in?  What are stack sizes?  Do you have the others tagged?

And a side note - Please don't shout at us

how long is a rope?

Hi, typing in all capital letters is the online version of shouting, just so you know, generally frowned upon everywere...

As for the aces, it's been covered in many other articles, but the general way to play it is to get it down to only one other player in the pot if possible, so that is your betting amount, obviously situational, positional etc...

until you have lots of experiance, never limp with aces, in the long run it will cost you more than your sneaky play will reward you...

if you have a situation in mind, or a played hand, please post it, with your table position, relevant betting info, chips & blinds, buy in etc...& we'll gladly post thoughts on the hand for you...

Aaaaaah the equator.   The equator is much over used imo.

Next you'll be telling me how to calculate the knot odds.

My Opinion

I've had my pocket A-A have been cracked so many times that I'm either considering going allin with them right off the bat or folding them. I do know that the less players in the pot the better chance you have of them holding up in the end. Not sure if this helps but it depends on many situations that your in. Best of luck. L8R

As a rule of thumb i would say
3X BB + 1BB for every player in the pot before you

But i may be wrong

If i am the first player to open...I always raise...and always the same amount....

before the antes start:  3x

after antes start: 2.5x

that's a good standard bet, but obv depends on chip stack too...
