Peeps,
I like to look at the poker hand analasis sub forum, reading what people say, opinions, etc. ITs very interesting.
But to be honest, 99% of the questions are all based on premium hands pre-flop, like a big ace or large pocket pair.
Has the new breed of player evolved into just premium hand raising/calling robots or is it me ? No matter where you go, or who you play against most players especially in the mid/late final stages of tournaments just sit for hours waiting for an ace or a premium hand.
To me, the skill factor in poker ( more related to no-limit hold 'em ) has diminished a little, all they seem to do is sit and wait ( which is fine of thats how you want to play )
I must be one of the old school who calls and raises with rags like playing ace jack suited.
I think people make more mistakes with premium hands and so most of the topics on PHA are about hands that "went wrong"
You don't really get into much trouble playing hands like 44 or 97os etc.... You either flop a monster and clean someone out or you miss and fold.
It would be a pretty boring thread if it went along the lines of.... "So I had 97os and the flop came A K T, One guy bet the next guy raised and I folded. Where did I go wrong? "
