Playing Full Tilt I have had A-A 10 times in cash games and they won 100%. Also had them 3 times in SnG's and again, won 100%.

So I am 13 for 13 so far.

4 of the cash games no one called my pre-flop raise. 4 of them players folded when I bet the flop. 1 went to the river and he had a pair of 6's and I had one beauty where a player decided to come over the top of my raise and go all-in. He had A-Q suited and my A-A held up.

I have been lucky with them though. I have seen them cracked a few times on FT and I even cracked some myself when I called with pocket 9's and a 9 hit the flop.

I too used to have massive trouble with them because I simply over-played them. It got that I didn't want to see them in my hole cards. lol. But if you play them as exactly what they are, which is just a pair if they don't improve on the flop, then the troubles go away. Don't be ashamed to fold them if the board looks scarey and other players start betting big


Edit: Make that 14 out of 14. Just doubled my stack in a SnG when I had AA v QQ. I like AA at the moment. hehe
