Bluff is the name of the game
Saw something recently in newspaper or magazine by an amateur playing Texas Hold'em in a tournament. Minimal collect because it was too obvious when he got the pair of aces. |

(Only joking mate, love the handle ! Do you ACTUALLY have anything to do with poker ?!?)
As for Aces heads-up game ... well it depends, 1.has the other player been rasing a lot or in general what kind of player is he 2.who has more chips and by how much 3.who has to act first, if he does what did he do 4.ect. But you want to get your chips in with best hand you can and to make any thing with Aces the other player has to have some kind of hand pre-flop. If he does not raise, always put in a small raise. |
