Poker Aces references two aces dealt before theflop. It is the strongest possible pre-flop hand inholdem Poker. But regardless a great many competitors end up on the wrong end when given these cards.

When you are given a set of Aces, you just don't fold pre-flop. You are sitting with the best possible hand at this part of the game. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I'd say no to that.

Keep in mind, you're looking to produce as much profit out of this strong position. You want to maximise the opportunity. Going all-in will simply scare most players into dropping out without putting a wager.

If you are in the initial seat (first or 2nd to cast a bet), you'll place a single bet. Anyone with good cards will call, with hope a player might raise. If there has been a raise don't hop to re-raise or call, pause for a small bit - make them think you're considering your options and then call.

After the flop your tactic will be to eliminate any player that could get a straight or a flush. So I would begin to raise aggressively, if you are fortunate you'll trick one player into believing that you are bluffing.

If you are in the middle or later spot (near the last to bet) you'll observe as everybody calls and then raise. Even though you're holding a pair of aces, if you can try to avert a show-down. Protect your hand by forcing others to fold following the flop. If you don't get rid of your competitors you risk losing your hand.
