Have you ever limp with Aces? Or this term is unfamiliar to you? Well, if you have browse online poker forums or website, you’ve already have heard of this strategy. Even popular poker players know about this and discusses this on their sites.

Commonly, when your UTG or under the gun and you have a pocket of Aces in your hands then you must limp. This is because raising this kind of hole instantly will just raise the suspicion of your opponents that you have a strong hand. In order to deceive them, just limp and just wait for someone to raise their bet.

If someone raise the bet for you, its safe for you to re-raise his bet and if you’re lucky enough, you can take all the money from the pot before the flop against a lower pair of hole cards.

But there’s a catch! What if no one raises the bet and 4 or more players called?

Yes, you have to fold it because it seems like you’re playing with a lot of random cards.

Its hard to fold aces especially if the flop was ragged. But you have to remember that so far you only bet for the Big blind and wouldn’t really hurt your pocket.

In this case the probability that another player got a very good set post-flop is very huge. So there’s no need for you to invest more and only lose at the end.

And it wouldn’t be good too even if the other players only have an open ended straight draw with a chance to have a flush set, its not worth it if you still gamble.

Whenever you’re in this kind of chance, don’t forget that there are more hands to play, so save your money for the best hand you have.
