Playing big aces in early position

[Gonso]

Full ring?

AJ - let it go. If it's a weak game preflop and stacks are decent you could do whatever. If suited you have a decent hand for a multiway pot if you can get one. Tough to play these OOP though.

AQ - whatever. Again, in EP full ring, I may not even play this at some tables. You could raise big to try and take it down, you could limp, any raise size is respectable depending on circumstances.

AK- raise a lot in EP.

After the flop: keep the pot small if you spike a pair. KQ7 is a decent flop for AK if you raise preflop, so make your normal raise and don't go for a mega pot pot here. If you're short, no big deal.

I don't like big pots for TPTK, TPQK type hands when deep. I'll play some now and then to mix it up, but that's about it. Make smaller value bets, unless you think he's drawing, then make a bigger bet on the turn.
