Pocket Aces against rags - Page 2

aces are overrated. Sure they are the best starting hand. But they are definetly not a guaruntee. I hate it when plugs say. "I always lose with aces" You lose because with aces you forget about reading people and just hope to god nobody draws out on you thats why you lose. I love looking at aces tho so pretty to see in the hole. The only time I hate seeing aces is in the first hand of a big tourney. I would definetly rather look down at seven duece to get me settled.

thats nothing. I assume you have seen rounders....I have seen the opposite. pocket aces vs pocket 9's. good betting...flop A J 9...good betting...turn 9...no betting...River K...one big bet...all in...quick call...luckly I was not in the hand but my friend got the quad end of the deal.

i very rarely win with pocket aces.. alot of people lose with them often from what ive seen, the only time i won with them was with 3 of a kind..

Pocket bullets normally end in death for me

i had pocket QQ. raised it preflop. the flop came QKK. i bet, and get raised, i go all in and get called. the other person has A J. Im miles ahead. Turn is K, river is K, i lose with quad K's with a Q to quad K's with an ace. Try to top that

You should never slow play aces unless you have the best hand out there. Aces gets beats a lot by 2 pairs and flush. Dont let the big cards go to waist

I had worked it up to just over $1,600 and recieved the gift and the curse that comes to us as AA. Short stack at the table, roughly $1,100...goes all in after a raise and a re-raise...and, obviously, I call...hoping to induce other callers with my AA. Flop comes A Q 3. I have a HAMMERLOCK on ANY other possible hand. Turn...a harmless 7. River...K. And what does the short stack turn over...but J T suited in spades.

( Talk about ouch. I still left the table with $400...better than the $50 I started the bank with...

That sucks man! I had pocket AA, raised with them and some retard called with A3 off suit can caught a straight on the flop.

my pocket rockets never reach orbit. if they did all the time, then it would take away from the allure of poker. to everyone who has ever cried about losing with pocket aces, ask yourself one question. how good do you feel when you beat them?

listen the bottom line is i think you should move all in with aces preflop and see what happens if the cards fall
