Play poker is the game full of surprises and I feel pleasure playing this game but I personally feel that if you are a newbie in this you must gather some information about the game. Playing with aces is not easy as far as I am concerned.
So, with aces, this would not always be true if by rising you would expect just as many players to stay as you would by calling. In such games, where opponents are weak, loose, and show no respect for a raise, go ahead and rise. All opposing hands are significant losers against aces, even when you are first to act.
But in most games, you are often better off just calling with big hands (even aces) from an early position. This entire concept is not just a marginal aid to your profit; it is an overriding life-force in winning hold ‘em. It is so strong that many players who would otherwise beat hold ‘em for small amounts year in and year out are losing today because they are unaware of
The “nuts”
You should frequently remind yourself of the importance of having the high possibilities on an open-end straight try — that is, the highest possible straight (the “nuts”). For instance if the flop is J-l0-9, A-8 makes you worry if a queen hits (because anyone with a single king will beat you, even though you have made a queen-high straight). That means half of your connections are not comfortable.
Even when you have two parts of an open-end straight draw in your hand and two parts on the board, such as a flop of J-10-2 when you hold 9-8, there is still some danger of having the straight beat.
With the queen landing, you specifically must worry about A-K or K-9, hands opponents might reasonably be holding. If, on the other hand, you hold Q-K, either an ace or a nine can complete your open-end straight without causing you worry. Having “the nuts” means that you must win (or at worst tie).
Non-nuts situation
Experts tend to miss the reason why it is almost always terrible to play hands such as Q-8 off suit. Understanding that reason can automatically help you with many on-the-spot evaluations. Note that Q-9 off suit is much better than Q-8 off suit. Why?
Well, you can see two reasons readily: (1) The 9 is higher than an 8, so there are minor advantages there, and (2) Q-9 has a broader span, allowing two sets of ranks to form a straight (K-J-10 or J-l0-8) rather than just one (i-I 0-9 for the Q-8). But the actual advantage of holding Q-9 rather than Q-8 is much greater than you would expect even considering those factors. Here’s why.
With the Q-9, a flop of J-l0-8 means you absolutely have the best hand. The flop K-J- 10, while good, does not guarantee that you hold the “nuts” (A-Q will beat you). But with Q-8, you have NO chance whatsoever of flopping a “nut” straight. The flop J- 10-9 does not do it, because there is a very reasonable chance it could be beaten by someone holding K-Q. And that is not just one less hand you win; that is often a financial disaster.
This is just one example of a long category of hands which are not profitable if you are aiming for a straight that has any reasonable chance, however slight, of being beat. Straight tries with no chance off lopping an absolutely guaranteed best straight should be played cautiously, if at all.
