Posted by stobrs: I was wondering what would you guys do if you we're sitting with AA.. Would you slow play it? raise, bet i usually slow play it But doesnt work very often.
It dependes on the position, blinds level and much other things. I usually raise to 3-4 BBs and postflop 1/2 - 2/3 pot...

It is the best to raise heavily preflop, if you have only one caller, you have 80 percent chance of winning, 50 percent againgst two, and so on. So you basically need to assure you don't have a lot of callers but those who call will make you money, for they are sure to have an AK or KK, which you will easily dominate. After the flop it is just a pair, almost as any other. Can be beaten with 72 offsuit, but the guy with 72 wouldn't call your big bet preflop, right?
When i have AA i usually go all in pre flop because AA is very unlucky for me... all AA i slow played ended up losing the pot so i always go all in pre flop
