[Closed] Playing large pocket pairs in MTT profitably

Hi all!

I have a question that is pretty much explained in the title quite clearly. My problem is, that in MTT holdem with 10 people at the tabble I don't really know how to play with large pocket pairs (QQ,KK,AA) to make a real profit out of it.

If I go in with a large bet preflop often everyone just folds, but if I let the flop come with many people still in the game there's a good chance that someone gets something better than a pair. This than often results in either me winning a ridiculously small amount of chips with something like AA preflop, or having to fold to an obvious straight, flush, drill post-flop.

Just play like what u should do raise 4x bb. Never slow play with AA or KK.

If u lose so be it. I the long run, u will win more than losing. Winning the BB is better than losing ur entire buy-in.
