AA Am I doing this wrong??

xxtazsterxx · #1 02-12-2007, 09:33 PM

Last summer I played 7 live tournaments over 4 days. A nice getaway to Atlantic City. I basically went down there to play live tournies for the first time. Anyway 4 times I busted out going allin preflop with AA.. I had 1 caller 3 times and only 2 callers in the other.. My philosophy has always been to push allin if i had the best hand and obviously at the time I did... But I'm beginning to wonder if this is the best way to play AA. I was usually an 80% favorite going in.... Any suggestions would be appreciated..

TIA

are you kidding? if you got all in with aces preflop how can you complain? results dont matter. usuually after the flop is where people run into trouble and cant fold aces

I hope that didnt come off as a complaint Ham.. I was very glad to be up against the hands they called with 99,even the 2 caller hand was TT and AQo, I was just wondering if maybe my thinking was wrong,,,

It can be very frustrating to loose with Aces a few times in a row, but It all works out in the long run. For every time you get busted with aces, you're going to bust aces with a worse hand. You get your chips in with the best hand, that's all you can do.
