Going Broke with Aces

[Poker Fool]

the way you play aces almost ensures you win small and lose large if this is your standard line.

people will play a wide range of hands against you if you make a flop push like this regularly, the implied odds are just too enticing if deep stacks are involved.


this hand:
the flop is just sooo ugly its not true.

I am not ready to give up aces on the flop, plenty of hands I am beating.

Given stack size/pot size the bet is tricky for me, I dont want to be playing for stacks here.

Heads up I am going to discount the flush, for one thing villian has made a pot sized bet and seeing a flush draw on every flop is just too tiring, odds are against this is what villian is going for.

So I am not going to make a bet on the flop to cut off the draw (convenient as if I do we are almost certainly playing for stacks by the river).

I min-raise here, if he comes over the top I am done (I've laid down winning hands before i'll do it again).
