I hear a lot of complaints about pocket aces, yet I personally believe its because players are not away of how to play them correctly.
At ANY level of poker you want to limit your opponents to one or two, instead of letting limpers into the pot. I typically raise 4x or 5x the BB depending on my position to discourage week hands. This reduces the chances of a donkey hitting a gut shot strait on the flop.
Once the flop comes the most important thing to remember is that AA DOES NOT ALWAYS WIN. you have to read the flop to see how it could have possible helped your opponent.
Technically the best flop for AA to see is 333. Personally I like to see a flop like K 8 3 of different suits. This way there are no flush draws, and there are no strait draws. While at the same time it is possible your opponent hit a pair of kings on the flop. This typically results in the most amount of money.
