how hard do you play buried aces?


Recommended Posts

When they fail to improve. I usually begin to Check on 5th street. If it is only one bet to me, I will usually call down, if it is two bets two me I usually give them up. Suggestions?

I'm a novice stud player, but I think checking 5th with such a strong, well-disguised hand is almost always a big mistake unless your hand is very dead and/or an opponent's board/betting/style combined scare the hell out of you. (I'm speaking very generally, as was said it always depends on the situation.) 5th street is often where you get unimproved draws or single pairs to fold, when the price goes up. Plus you have plenty of outs to make aces up (or trip aces). So, generally, you still want to be getting value for your hand, and you certainly don't want to give worse hands a free card.
