[jefftib2000]

Yeah I have slow played AA before and it was at a cash game lost $35 dollars in one hand at a .50/$1 cash game so I wont ever slow play it again.

i dont know why i do it. i guess i hope the hit alittle on the flop so i can take

them for more money but it never works out the way i want it to.

The same guy rbd, whatever, beat AA twice that i seen. I have limped in

early position hoping to get a raise from a late position, but sometimes it just

dont work that way. better luck next time. If your wondering what i do with I

just big raise em preflop or go allin preflop.

if you limp first to act, and everyone calls, your aces are no good anymore unless you hit the perfect flop. so if this happens just check call or maybe a small raise to see where your opp. are. but i would of checked on the flop you showed!!

try and min raise when you are first to act with a strong hand. then switch up your game if everyone is calling small raises. try big raises!!!!

p.s i have limped first to act with AA or KK around 20 times in this past year. and i would say 15 of them i got all limper's, 3 i got a raised then i re raised and 2 i got all ins behind me!!

This is the first rule I think all poker players should learn.

Never slow play with aces.

But just because you don't slow play them, doesn't mean it's an automatic all in every time you get the pocket rockets.

You want to make money off of them.

I think it's just smarter to win a little bit, than risk winning alot, and getting sucked out and losing all together.

Yea you should have but that's a hard spot to be in. Another thing that you could of done is not bet on the turn and checked it. This makes it so that if he has a jack, he will define his hand by his action. Also, it could look like you had the jack if he thought you were bluffing with the bet on the turn. Which would explain why he min raised you on the turn if he was bluffing.

I can't say whether he had the jack or not because you don't really know but, you always want the other person to define their hand so that you can get some information and make an appropriate read on your opponent. At least this is what I've been told..
