you have to realize that after the flop, all you have is still a pair unless your hand improves.
meaning that by the time you get to the turn/river and your hand doesn't improve, you should be playing small pot poker as all you have is a pair.
Aces are only aces because they are the strongest hand preflop.
when you get to the flop. the only way your opponents are going to put significat chips in the pot is if they have a stronger hand than just a pair (even if its pair of aces)
of course this is a generalization and it depends on play image, opponent's skill level, stage in the tournament etc
but generally you have to learn to keep the pot small when you have high PP especially on the turn/river. |
