Obviously it is much easier if you are on the button or in the blinds and can see the action in front of you and make an assessment of the appropriate level of aggression from there. also BUMMER, because you got virtually nothing out of great hole cards. BUMMER! and you get beat with BS flopped two pair, or a set, or a flush, etc.īut on the other side of the spectrum, when you are early position with AA and you raise 3-5x BB and everyone folds. yes, there are times when you are in early position and perhaps only call or min raise in order to attempt to increase the pot with callers, hoping to get re-raised by an aggressive player and that does not happen. I agree, you can increase your % of winning with AA by aggressively betting pre-flop, but I think you have to balance your pre-flop aggression with chip gain maximization, so.
