What should you do when you hold big pocket pair, aces , kings or queens ? Raise, just call , or go all in? My opinion is that It depends on your position and how much big blinds you have left and also about other players. but raising is always the best option, what do you think?

Usually it is best just to raise it up. If you have a very aggressive player acting after you, you may try to trap him and just limp in, hoping that he raises and you can come over the top.

It really depends on your stack, your opponents and your table image. If i'm on an agressive table i tend to limp or min raise with K's or A's hope they catch a pair off the flop and they'll try bully you, if the A does flop you risk losing, (And preflop you'll get called by an ace more times than not anyway) but more times than not you'll still be winning and your hand will be disguised.

always raise, but sometimes you can mix it up with a call if you can get a good read on the player your playing against to get his chips or limp under the gun also i prefer to raise, because if i loose i just have myself to blame wich isnt fun at all

Indifferent of my position i raise. My raise is somwhere of 4-5 big blinds. If someone raise in front of me or after my i have no doubt that i eill go all in. Anyway it's not surely that you will win but i think that this is the right decision. Good luck!

You should always have max amount at the table. It gives you a chanse to win more. Many good players reload every blind circle to max amount. Its correct to raise or 3bet with big poketpairs. Always be agressive.
depends on many things
