Beating AA Heads Up

Last night in our weekly home game I made it to the final two. And we traded blinds two times and then he goes all in. I'm BB and I have QhTd I put him on a low pocket pair since he's that type of player. As he turns his cards over he said "Highest pocket pair!" I knew I was in bad shape and would have to catch at least two cards. Flop comes 9x Qx Jx. I couldn't dream of a better flop. Now I have open ended straight draw and a pair. I end up catching a T on the river to win the tournament.

This guy has the worst luck with pocket Aces. All summer I haven't seen him win a hand with them. And one night he ended up going heads up against AA twice in three hands to get busted and had to rebuy.

This was a good win though my first win out of 6 tournaments I've played this month. I've made it to heads up 3 times but this was the first time I pulled out a win.

AA is the best thing to go all in to win the largest possible quantities of chips

The pocket rockets have to be the most coveted preflop pair, but there are a lot of reasons to sweat it out if taken to the river. Do you slow play them, or push all in? Aggression is the key heads up, I wouldn't let someone see it all the way to the river before going all in.

I have AA HU i push and pray. I know how your buddy feels though i had AA 3 times in one sit and go all in preflop lost all 3 times before finally getting knocked out KQ once pocket 10 twice i didnt play for a week.

It makes you feel better if you show your hand histories to other players and they go like: 'WOW thats so sick' and 'No way dude, that guy is such a donkey'. Trust me

do not believe AA is not dangerous unless you have the flop and we have nothing
