I very seldom push all-in with the rockets, and like some of the other posters have said, it would depend on the situation, and my read of the other players.  I usually prefer to do a larger than standard raise (big enough to filter out the usual limpers) and see how the hand develops and the reactions of the others in the pot.  I certainly don't get too attached to aces, and very rarely risk all my chips in this situation.

My tuppence for what it's worth....

Just remember that 3 * 80% shots to hold up for you, reduces your winning ratio close to evens.

Therefore, the skill is in accumulating your chips first so that when you take the bad beats, you are only losing a % of your stack and not being eliminated.

I have to say that I am diappointed as I thought this would be about Simon 'blowing his own' Trumper with some €uros for sale
