When an Ace Raises
When an Ace Raises, you should not play many hands.
This includes his pairs, which usually should be thrown away since you can’t take the chance that you are playing style against a pair of aces.
Even if your opponents holds three low cards, he still could catch another ace.
When you do play against an ace, you’d better have three very good low cards.
You don’t want to have a high hand.
This is most important against a tight opponent; it is also important, but to a lesser extent, against an action player.
If you have a big pair, such as two kings or two queens, and an ace is behind you, you should be leery of raising or even playing your hand.
This is especially true if the ace is held by an aggressive player, who will tend to reraise you not only with aces, but also with an ace and two low cards or an ace and a small pair.
He will assume that he can outplay you, because you won’t know where you stand.
Even if the aggressively player has the worst hand percentage wise, he may have the best of it money wise.
So when there is an ace on board, you should be careful about entering the pot if that player is yet to act.
If he has already raised, unless he is a maniac who raises all the time, you should be extremely cautions about playing.
But even when playing against a maniac in poker , keep in mind that he is starting with the best card in the deck.
