While I prefer to make my normal bet with AA, checking pre-flop against two opponents isn't the worst play ever made.  Depending on the opponents, I've done it before and will again.  When the flop brings both straight and flush draws, it doesn't seem like a very good choice to stay in the weeds.  After the turn completes the possible flush and gives anyone holding one spade a flush draw, it's a guess what to do because he made no effort to find out where we was in the hand.  And after just calling on the turn, well, why not give away some on the river?

i like to "Smoth play" Aces, if i have not position and there r Agrressive players at table but just to Reraise pre-Flop, if all plyers limps in, u can't go too far with your Aces without improve.

never slow play aces unless you are on a table with less than say 4 players !

one can show that the more players ar left, the less money you will make, because noone will put money in the pot !!!

With AA in your hands,a good raise before the flop is very important.When I beggin I didnt raise well,and I already lost with cards like 75.Terrible :(

I usually try to go up 3xBB on the preflop. This will get rid of most fo the other players at the table. After that I usually only have like 1 or 2 people that tag on and I wait for the flop. If I see there is nothing that can harm me then I will start slow playing the AA just so I can wait for someone to try to bluff me out with a high bet. If there is a chance that someone is looking at getting a straight or a flush then I am going to make sure they have to pay a pretty good amount to see that next card. Usually this will get rid of you chasers. If it doesnt then well I just hope for the best at the end of the hand.

This works most of the time but then you have to remember that every once in a while you will have that person with 25 suited that is going to try to chase the flush and they will catch it from time to time.

raising preflop would have likely taken it right there, 57 and K6 i wouldn't take on preflop raises with either of those, would have been clicking fold or check/fold as soon as i seen my hole cards

I raise AA preflop, if there are limper, I make a very big raise after the flop to see who follows...it depends on the flop but it's always better to win a small pot or only the blinds than nothing. In online poker you receive very often AA and very often you win the pot, but you can't win every pot with AA. If you have a hand, you absolutely have to bet into the pot, don't lure someone into a trap...

If you play tight with your pocket AA and raise at the end your opponent might also fold...so I raise, reraise and bet very much into the pot...thats my oppinion...

IMO you should always do a raise with AA to exclude the limpers and the marginal hands that may become monsters on the flop. Do remember to always do a continuation bet on the flop and do not be afraid to fold if you have a solid read on a player.

He let this hand get away. I hate when I lose a hand on the river when a simple bet or raise prior may have taken down the pot. It's micro stakes poker so not too bad of a loss ($2.85). He was probably trying to milk as much as he could figuring his aces were good.
