Pocket Aces: Why The Best Hand In Poker Isn't Always The Best ICM Play

While pocket aces offer the chance of a big victory, you should not automatically play them aggressively. Think about the positions of other players. If you are close to the prize money bubble, moving all in with pocket aces early can knock out some players but also mean you drop out with a smaller prize if you lose. It may be better to simply call the initial bet and see the flop. Pocket aces are a tempting hand but you must consider all factors before going all in. Patience and strategy sometimes trump the best starting cards.
