In early position I would limp in b4 flop hoping for a raise so I can reraise in the middle I would do the same and late I would raise off the bat hoping someone would raise me watching the flop though for straight possibilities alot more to it than just what I write but basically I got this strategy from super system and for the most part have had some success using it, it can be found on page 453 of first super system book also how to play KK and when to fold KK great advice and well worth using as part of your game plan

Whats more important: the strategy or lucky?
The strategy...., no the lucky. Oh, you don't really care do you.

The strategy takes the luck into account. The correct strategy is the one that wins you the most money when you play the same situation 1000 times.

I admit it, I firstly joined for the freeroll passwords. But i always come on because its ace and a good place to get advice from other players

Also i go all in with AA or raise a lot. If you dont you can get beat by a crap hand. I have beat AA with 10 6 (full house) and with 8 4 off suite (got a full house again) so i tend to go for a double up and if no one calls then you hav won some blinds.

This begs the question why aren't you folding 10 6 and 8 4? or was it on free money games?

When i have pocket aces i cant resist raising the blinds but i find people calling with terrible hands then hitting straights or trips. I was just wondering if anyone has any better way of playing pocket aces against bad poker players.
Go all in pre-flop if you're in early
position. If in late position and there was a
raise, go all-in. If people were just trying to
limp in, make a raise... and then bet very
aggressively after the flop.

I hate it when people dont raise at all w/AA in a 6 seated table.

A couple of times ive been busted by this.

For example, one time i had KK in late position so i raise heavily n then i notice early position re-raising me all in, im thinkin he has lower pockets or maybe just A-high so i call n what do you know, hes got them ACES n i end up losing.

I hate it when people slow play AA in a 6 seated table, i could understand if it was a 10 seated table but whatever, they leave themself open to getting busted by the big blind special.

If you do not raise w/ AA you are asking to be sucked out.

Do not slow-play pocket aces. You should raise 3-4X the blind and hope that one player bites. If two call, then your risk of winning goes from 85% into the 70's%.
