Poker Aces refers to two aces dealt pre-flop. It is the
strongest possible pre-flop hand in Texas Holdem Poker. But
despite this many players find themselves on the losing end when
dealt this hand.

When you're dealt a pair of Aces, you just don't fold pre-flop.
You're sitting with the best possible hand at this stage of the
game. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you simply
go all-in? I'd say no to that.

Remember, you're trying to produce as much profit out of this
strong position. You want to maximise the opportunity. Going
all-in will simply scare most players into folding without
placing a bet.

If you're in the early position (first or second to bet), you'll
place a single bet. Anyone with a decent hand will call,
hopefully someone might raise. If there has been a raise don't
jump to re-raise or call, pause for a short while "� make them
think you're considering your options and then call.

After the flop your strategy will be to eliminate anyone that
could get a straight or a flush. So I would begin to raise
aggressively, if you're lucky you'll trick one player into
believing that you're bluffing.

If you're in the middle or late position (one of the last to
bet) you'll watch as everyone calls and then raise. Even though
you're sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to avoid a
show-down. Protect your hand by forcing others to fold after the
flop. If you don't drive out your opponents you risk losing your
hand...
