Message: [QUOTE="SpanRmonka, post: 6657143, member: 429759"] The default play should be to raise pre. Raise your standard amount. Only limp if you're almost sure another player will fall into the trap and raise big or shove. Of course in theory we should balance this with some calls here and there. But the reality is at microstakes, I don't think its necessary. In a very crazy cash game you can afford to raise higher than usual too. There can often be some crazy players calling or re raising. Can't remember where I read this, but they said winning at poker is mostly about maximising value from your good hands. As AA is the best hand pre, then the best way to extract value has to be to value bet. Post flop, you may now still only have 1 pair, so can either bet for value or try to get to the showdown, or a combo of both, depending on how the flop etc looks and how the betting is going. [/QUOTE]
