    For any poker players, how do you play your pocket As pre flop:

    1. Depends on position
    2. Depends on how many players
    3. Depends on skill of players
    4. Depends on stack size
    5. Combinations of the above
    6. All of the above
    7. None of the above
    8. Other

    Yes, I hate bullets too, false security. I've seen them played every way imaginable way but I find that position and skill of players seems to be strong determining factors. IDK, just curious what others do with evil pocket As. lol

    #5 Don't think I've ever won a hand with pocket rockets...

    Then again, I think I've won every time I've had twin twos...

    I've won with them many times but lost more than I care to count. If there's a full table the odds drop to around 17% that they're going to win. Monster pre flop but a simple 2 pr. can beat them. Duh, lol.

    I have found that raising the blind ~ 3-4 x works kind of well---gets rid of the junk hands if the players are any good but against weak players, IDK, 7-2 off wins. lmao Sometimes I don't raise the BB at all and then slam on the river. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. 8)
