I have been seeing people play there AA slow preflop with great results and I decided to give it a try and see how it goes. I wouldnt do this in a 9 handed game but I think that in a 6max game it can be very profitable to play AA slow with a raise in front. What do u guys think about this way of playing AA?

[kaz2107]

i dont do it...

it is obv villian dependant and table dependant but my standard is to reraise big here preflop. i like to get a lot of money in peflop so that when they do hit their tptk or tpgk hands on the flop they feel obligated to put the rest in. u also make more when they dont hit anything and just c/f.

ps
try to convert ur hand next tyme

I would have thought that being aggro with AA pf is better in 6max than FR because your default aggression should be higher anyway, therefore you have less chance of defining your hand.

[demon102]

my UB hands wont convert in the ftr hand converting program, and in full ring games I would always play my big pairs fast cuz there are some many more hands that can just call and bust u with a nice flop 6 handed or less is the only time Id consider doing this kind of play.

[wake_up]

Well, if you're going to play it like that you've got to be able to fold to a flop 3bet (depending on the opponent).

I don't know why would you wouldn't RR PF w/ AA. You get paid off so often at these limits.

[wake_up]

That's what I was trying to say /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[pokerchap]

definitley RR. a good opponent will know you have QQ-AA or AK if you rarely RR but most will have no idea and will call with A7

[demon102]

u guys have given me something to think about, my reraising hand range is JJ-AA and AK, I am wondering if any of u would consider reraising with AQ too and maybe even hands like 77-1010 to give u a much wider range to work with here, what do u guys think?

Yes - reraising range needs to be wider than this. Ideally, adjust it to villains raising range. A raise from a 15/3 player is a lot different to a raise from a 45/25, obviously - best to let the TAG take the lead if you have a weaker hand, but you probably want to build the pot against a maniac/fish.

I guess those numbers 15/3 and 45/25 is there aggression factor on poker tracker where do I find that, I cant find it on mine.
