Question

i have ace s ace d do i go all n preflop if someone else raises?

Answer 1

Never.  You can get beat by 3-2's.  See the flop, my recommendation.  

OK, here's the deal: some people are getting upset at me because they don't like my advice. I'll explain my advice...

You get excited w/ pocket Aces, you not only call a pre-flop raise, but you go all-in, as the questioner asked.  Now, your *only* chance at not losing everything is hitting one or 2 more Aces, to give you 3 or 4-kind...OR....hoping nobody else lands triples, two-pair, flush, etc.  

Yes, going all-in seems like the right thing to do...but remember, there are: A) Other players getting 5 more cards, just like you, and B) Many hands that can beat a pair of Aces, should that be all you pick up.  You can't see a two-pair draw or a triple that someone else may flop.

To sum up, Yes, calling the raise is smart- you will, at this point, probably take the pot.  Going *all-in pre-flop* may only work as a bluff.  Pocket Aces are a good hand, the best hand pre-flop, but after the flop it's still only a pair unless you're lucky.  Odds are against you that your Aces will take it after the board is down.

Like I had to tell someone, it's *your* game, play it how *you* want.  I am just sharing my experience, that's what this site is about.  Good luck in your game.

Answer 2

If the player who raises you is playing loose, re-raise x4-5, and you may get a caller or two because other players may think you are putting a play on that loose player. But against tough player, I will re-raise more or even all-in because they are tough to make money from after the flop anyway.

Answer 3

go all in

Answer 4

if the raise puts you all in go for it... otherwise just call or reraise but be wary of two pair and three of a kinds floating out there if the hand plays all the way out

Answer 5

Personally, I'll go all in if I'm in the later stages of a tournament. For cash games, it depends on my position and how many people are in the pot. Then I'll generally limp or make a min raise because it's still very easy to be beaten with pocket A A.

Answer 6

sure..... with ace's its a good bet you'll win.... odds are highly un-likely your opponents have a better hand...

Answer 7

If it is preflop you have to go all in.  Nobody else can have a better hand than you before the flop.  After the flop though it is possible you are beat though.  But before the flop, with two aces you should never fold.
