 depends on the player
Be careful with high pocket pairs QQ, AA, KK, know your players because it's usually the dumb ones that won't fold and hit their K or A. The problem with this pair is that they are so high and have an effect on you that you feel like you've already won you hand.
Play aggressively against tight players and use it to trap loose and dumb-calling-everything players. So raise when the ace hits with tight players, who will usually fold if they don't have it or re-raise if they have AK, AQ or even AA.
Against loose players, check and if they make higher than usual bluff bet or they go all-in, then fold. If it's his standard raise, re-raise to make sure he is not slowplaying that ace and after that you'll probably be pretty sure if he has one or not.
Never get careless with a high pocket pair. They are the strongest pre-flop cards, but can quickly become weak after the flop. |
