Bet Strategy

[Mrlova]

Mrlova, that is a good suggestion, and the use of both strategies is a good idea to help through people off your trail. you just have to be ready to fold the AA when a 7 8 9 board comes up.

Also, i tend to be a "get them chippies in the pot preflop" kind of player.

OMG...I am cringing right now. So what if the board is 7 8 9. So much could happen on a flop like that, it's a big money flop. You can't take the approach of, "well that's a scary flop so I'm going to fold because I know someone has a 10". You have to worry about getting your money in smart and taking down the pot, if that means over betting it to win a small pot then you do that, or maybe it means play passive so you don't donate chips to a loose player if they end up hitting. The key to poker is adjusting to the game you're playing and take advantage.

Play to the idea of things rather than the cards---yes.
