Bullets (AA)
Bullets (two aces), also known as American Airlines, rockets and pocket rockets, is the best starting hand in Hold'em. Pre flop, there is no better starting hand. In fact if you played 220 hands, odds say you would only hit Bullets once.
As discussed in our previous guides (see American Airlines), whilst this is the best starting hand, it is very easily overturned post flop. What you should remember is that in the ranking of poker hands, a pair (which is all it is) has 8 better hands that can be made (out of 10).Whilst it does carry some dangers, pre flop you should be aggressive with this hand. It has frequently played hands like AK, AQ, AJ, KQ completely dominated.
You should be careful on the flop if the flop if there is a straight or flush possibility if the board pairs as this could spell danger. If any of these scare cards come, you should take care with a feeler bet to see where you are. If you are raised, you should consider folding unless you think your opponent is on a draw and you are still the favorite. Either way, could end up being a coin flip at best. You should wait for a better situation.
The trick with aces is not to get married to your hand. If you think that your behind, fold.
