Pocket aces in Texas Holdem poker can mean a life or death sentence for your hand. It is common practice to bet high before the flop lands on the table. However, pocket aces don’t always guarantee you the winning hand. There is still the turn and river card to deal with.

So how does one know if these particular pocket aces will win the game? They take the risk by betting high before the flop and are hopeful after that. A bluff will normally come through on what seems to be a flush drawn out or possibly a straight.

The bluff for pocket aces can backfire, as someone may call you on it and the cards turn ugly in your direction. Aces are only worth as much as the cards on the table, so bluffing needs to be used cautiously. Pocket aces don’t always mean a pocket hand.

Is there a time where you should fold aces? Yes, if the flop has come through and you notice that neither of the suits of aces you have are going to make a difference. Even with the highest pair, the aces, you would loose.

When it comes to folding, most will not fold the pocket aces and will go forward with bluffing the other players. This could be because they have already invested a high chip count into the pot. Sometimes a player will feel they have no choice but to say in the poker hand and see where they go.
