    Default what do you do with your aces?

    This is a question that I am trying to come up with the right answer for from someone who is very knowledgable with what to do with hands pre-flop

    Donk shove all-in pre-flop no matter what the situation presents. UTG, SHOVE! Everyone folds and I'm in the LB, SHOVE! From the BB SHOVE! 20BB or 5,000BB's deep it doesn't matter. Just shove! You are guaranteed to get all-in good everytime if you just shove AA pre-flop 100% of the time.

    Completely situation dependent.

    Sometimes limp.
    Sometimes raise 3*BB.
    Sometimes call a raise.
    Sometimes reraise 3*the raise.
    Sometimes 4*the raise.
    Sometimes shove.
    Never fold.

    Depends on other peoples stats, your position and what limit you are playing at

    With no stats im raising/reraising almost 100% of the time.
    Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. Poker can be rough-hewn or polished, warm or cold, charitable and caring, or hard and impersonal, fickle and elusive, but ultimately poker is fair, and right, and just.

    My personal advice to anyone who has such broad questions [as this one] is to go and buy a poker book on whichever topic you need help with. Poker books can give basic "ABC" answers to broad questions, and can give you a "general" idea of what would be the most acceptable move to make in certain situations.

    People in poker forums, on the other hand, are incapable of giving a generalized answer, because as purple chip said so well, everything is situational... there are just too many variables at play at any given time for any one move to be that "perfect" move, and no one play will ever be right 100% of the time in ANY situation.

    I mean granted, some people will try and give you their opinions, experiences, etc... and that's fine... but you have to take everything with a grain of salt... because what works for them might not work for you.
    I see you talking but all I hear is blah blah blah

    Simetimes it is better to play slow game with AA.
    It is good move in long distance. All you need to know how your opponents will play

    What? Poker has nothing to do with other people. It's all about what your cards are. There is no such thing as situational play. Anyone who believes otherwise is happily living in a world of fantasy.

    I'd probably just 3x pf and fold to any reraise since I never 4bet and I don't know how to play post flop.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Default interesting

    This is a good question..but with no raise pre-flop your aces might get crushed because you give the other players the posibility to hit something big on the flop and u might find yourselve in a position where you cannot fold your aces even if you know you're beat...
    You go all-in when you are short-stack and in any other case you raise..
