I think I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one buddy. I'll take pocket aces anytime. Sure your going to get your bad beats, but more times then none your going to clean up with them.

I know Astros enjoyed them last night when he took out someone (I forget who) who happened to get pocket kings at the wrong time.

Um holding aces makes my day. Its when i limp UTG and don't get a raise that gets me upset! I wouldn't mind going into every flop heads up better than 4:1 to win. Nothing better than looking down at your cards or in this case looking at your screen seeing American Airlines.

Deal me those Pocket Rockets anytime, anywhere. I always raise with AA to weed out the garbage. Sure they get busted occasionally, but you got to love having the best starting hand in Holdem.

Iceberg.

I would NEVER complain about getting AA. Best starting hand in the game whether people "always lose" with them or not. Everyone complains about how their aces always get busted, but that's only the case, because we only remember the bad ones.

I don't remember how many times I have busted some one, or have doubled up, but I do remember some bad beats I have taken with them. It's just human nature to recall all of the bad instances and not the good ones.

Yeah, give me AA every hand and I won't complain to you once. The key with Aces is to try and eliminate your competition to the flop. Raise it up and limit your callers down to like 1 or 2. If you can with large blinds like 300/600 you may want to raise it up to like 3,000 and even steal the blinds. This is a quality play because if someone has a good hand as well they may move all in and you have them were you want them. Getting bad luck is going to happen and it sucks...just remember how many times you have been getting lucky on someone else.

Also, not knocking on you xxSinxx but if I was dealt those 2 aces in a game. I would complain. The same card twice would scare me. LOL, just messing with ya.

I'm gonna say it's safe to say that you play them wrong then, because there's no reason to be losing every time. Do you minimum raise a lot with them? Can we get some more insight, maybe some hand histories?
