hi craig,
this is the sort of thing i have been coming up against time after time,since returning to playing cash again this month.
doesn't it annoy you,but it's become the norm now i feel.
like every different game type people play,there is a way to beat it,it's just working it out how....that's the tricky part.
i'm still in the early stages here but it's becoming very clear to me that going all-in or even to showdown when holding just 1 pair,or 2 if you count the 66 here,is just not going to be good enough,a lot of the time.
even trips is another example that may not also be enough to win.

i played a session the other day where i lost with KK all-ins  all 4 times.
so the next session i folded my KK hands from the flop and yes i would have lost all but 1 had i played them.
the next session i slow played them and one about 50/50 i'd say.so what i'm trying to get at is there are many ways to play these type of hands maybe AA too.
gl anyway,
always enjoy the challenge of playing against you.

Aren't those the sort of calls you want every single time?

Lambert180

Not on this site no, any other then sure.

JPW33

Given the flop of OP and the fact he had a call and a raise suggests at least one of them had a 6 and therefore fold the aces ? Easy to say I know after the event with all the cards laid out and I would probably have done the same lol

ok  so what?
what does that prove?

nothing ,it's a small sample only 8 hands...

i've won 3  & lost 5.

not quite 80% win rate.

more like 37.5%

i'll keep an eye on it,and i'll let you know how things work out for me.

i'm sure you will have something to say on this...you usually do.
i'm not saying anything is rigged or anything that's going to get me into trouble,'coz that would just be plain silly,wouldn't it.
i'm just giving you my facts regarding my AA hands played out over the last week.
now i'm not saying i couldn't have got away from any of them as i know i could have from 1 especially,but as played,those are the stone cold facts,no question.

who knows...maybe next week i will get that 80%win rate....
but i wouldn't be betting very much on it.

tbf it was a new pack just opened and shuffled  lol

funny how they come out sometimes though.

BorinLoner

Devonfish, let me first agree that eight hands is not a relevant sample size. Now we've got that out of the way:

I doubt these are the last eight times you've had AA, because all of them go to showdown. Post all the hands that are folded without a showdown, too, or your data will be biased to favour one argument or another.

All of those hands that didn't go all-in pre-flop do not relate to the 80% figure. That figure is only applicable when all the money goes in before the flop. On the hands against 44 and 56 you got your money in as a big underdog and drawing dead, respectively, not as an 80% favourite.

If you get 100BB or more in to the pot post-flop with just one-pair, you should expect to be behind more often than not. If you get it in with AA pre-flop you will win more than 80% of the time in the long-run - You can't carry that forward to all-in's post-flop, though.
