For the vast, vast majority of players at the vast, vast majority of limits, slowplaying pocket aces is a terrible idea. The reasons are (1) you should only slowplay hands that are unlikely to be drawn out on, and that is not the case with pocket aces, especially in multi-way pots, (2) your slowplay (i.e., cold-calling, limping) will usually encourage multi-way pots unless you are last to act (BB) and heads up already; aggressive play will get you heads up a lot and pocket aces do much better in that situation especially if you have a wet flop, (3) you almost never know if you are ahead or behind post-flop if you have aces in a multi-way pot (someone could have hit some weird 2 pair or something) and you can create awful reverse implied odds situations here, and (4) most importantly, most of your villains pay little attention to what you are doing anyway, so you will usually get action from the hands that you want to be up against with your aces (i.e., big broadway cards, smaller pocket pairs) anyway, whereas the hands that won't give you action pre-flop aren't likely to give you much action post-flop either. |

Actually, yes I do. I'm actually more derogatory in person. It's a treat. For the record though, I said that in reference to this entire thread, not you specifically captain defensive. |

It's funny how the "experts" can easily go on tilt over a beginner's question. |
