I agree that you should probably call any bet or raise with pockets. which i might getting AA is a 0.4 percent probability. But when im in late position and I have this hand at a cash game, i have reserves about calling an all in, i will do it 90% of the time but i do have reserves because of all the possible beats. However in a STT or MTT i will always call no matter what i mean come on you have too. But i have to agree with all the points made here.

In a cash game if the whole table pushes then I'll still call it, I'm going to be winning it about %50 of the time compared to their low-'teen %'s.

There is never a reason to fold AA preflop in a cash game. Maybe in a MTT when your definetly going to be in the money by folding and you don't what to get a bad beat and end up being the bubble man. If your going to fold that pre-flop in a cash game you shouldn't be playing poker...

Oh come on i was being facetious LOL, who would ever fold this hand pre flop, haha.

All im saying is when there 2 callersor so, im having that voice say (great they called), however im also thinking i could be geting a visit from the bad beat train. I dont prefer risking ALL my chips on anything pre flop ya know

[westSou]

well if i am short stack and the blind is killin..then i would move all in..but other then that i would usually raise..but not much..because u don't want to scare anyone off...so say if the blind is 100-200...i would probably raise 500 because double the blind is too little for me..so an xtra hundred is perfect..lol so if the flop looks bad...say if their is a flush or straight draw..then i would move all in..and if its a rainbow flop...i would slow play..i can't take any risks..hehe

( this all depends on position but basically this is how it goes) That should get rid of most of the rif raf. Then if you get a caller he probly has face cards or a pocket pair. SO you make your reads and bet hard on the flop if you think u have him because you dont want him catching cards. If he goes fishing most likely he wont hit and you'll win a lot of chips.

Well I play all in exactly for above reasoning someone will call, almost everytime I go all in I get a caller it hardly ever get folded around if it does ill take my chances!!!

I find AA and AK the hardest hands to play. Next to JJ I get beat with them most often. Especially online where the play is so dang loose you can't force anyone out of the pot except the most serious of players...and there are few of them in the low limit games I play in. I have to play them and just hope that I don't lose too much by the end...

So I'm guessing you don't know how to play it after the flop because any poker player will tell you they want AA over 1010 preflop anyday.
