What many people dont realize is what they have. Sure AA is the best hand preflop...but after the flop its far from the nuts.

Would you slowplay TPTK normally? Thats realistically all that AA becomes (unless you improve of course)

I dont mind playing Aces slow on ONE street. If you limp preflop in EP FINE. But then you must play very aggressive on the flop AND have discipline to fold them if more aggression is shown. If you check the flop expecting someone to bet and then check raise great.... but if they check back, you have to show serious aggression on the turn and again have discipline to lay them down if more aggression is shown. Remember they are still only a pair.

(This isn't saying the Bad Beat post above played them bad, im just commenting on RD's comment of aces being slowplayed)
