How to play aces!

[Detroitjunky]

there are many ways to play aces - even a few reasons to fold them preflop - but you are too inexperienced for those right now
my theory- unless there is action before you bet - is that you should ALWAYS be raising the same amount with every hand that you are raising with...this way your opponents cant get a read on how strong your hand is - BECAUSE if they know you have aces they will probably fold - I like 3x the big blind. Poofy has a good thought though with people acting before you do - if you get a lot of callers before you act (3 or more) then your raise should be slightly higher to weed out the riff-raff

Unfortunetly, this is not good advice. you should not always raise the same preflop. there are reasons to vary your raises based on table dynamics and pot size manipulation. additionally, the "norm" is 4bb + 1 for each limper.

however, sometimes you'll want to open for a lot less or a lot more, as well as vary your preflop re-raise hammering. it is situational, not pure formulaic
