Basic AA question

[bhoywonder]

I this the guy on the APAT updates who went out the last 3 games with AA?

 i went out online with AA again preflop allin in an apat edin sat.....sad


zzzzzzrope was in it too

so i may have a witness

you know you will win 80 times out of 100, so now you only have 16 more beats to take then you will have 80 consecutive wins to look forward to.

im hearing u all

esp. boldie


it was a daft post i know


but seriously..i aint even folding an overpair to a flushed flop...who am i kidding?lol

it just makes u wonder sometimes

and ive had AA 4 or 5 times since the OP and won em all...it;s just that the 1st 3 crushed me in mtts.....

If it makes you feel better, the last time I had AA I lost to trip 2's and the last 3 times I have had KK in cash games I've lost to AA.  I don't think that I;ve played them wrong, but it hurts at the time.

Socks up, reload, new hand and start again.  Shit happens but it's how you deal with it that defines you.

totally agree

and actually i dont know why i posted

boldie was spot on

part of the learning process
-
I'ved served my apprenticeship

..I cant grumble about bad beats,varaince,or any outdraw ( i really cant ).. I think i know my percentages ( been playing this game for over 4 years )..


I'm really beginning to know when to fold a losing hand....the next step is to push a losing hand into a winning position..which is easy online..not so easy live ( i find ) ask Boba fett ( i bet he has pushed me off a winner many a time )

anyway its all good and i think after all this emotion and vodka im still + ev which cant be that bad


and my point is??!!


more smirnoff


cheers

Funny thing is, I know exactly why you posted.  I've been through it, I'm going through it and it sucks balls.   I doubt my own abilty but  deep down know I'm right, but there's the burning question deep down am I doing it right.

We'll overcome it, good poker will prevail

indeed sir!!

playing live the other day


some monkey to my left ,some monkey to my right and im folding winner after winner after winner

but the thing is

i was ahead preflop

but behind after the flop.then catching up after all 5 are dealt

and i KNOW

i cant get em off ..so + ev..minus the fact that i didnt cash

so there it is in a nutshell ( gamble to cash or fold preflop when u know ur behind)

it's a tough one

and i don't have any easy answer as yet

but when i do



i think i'll do ok

I have left this thread alone as im not sure I could think of a constructive reply.What I would say is I think some posters on here are looking at poker from the wrong perspective.

Varience is a sod in poker and it can make us feel like we are never going to do anything right. In response to this we look for things to change in our game and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is we are often looking in the wrong place, looking to get fancy and play non standard poker is not the way forward. We have aa lets look to get it in,end of.

We look at the big pots that we lose and look for ways to play them better, when they are coolers and bad beats. Alot of people think making big laydowns and big bluffs is the way forward in poker it often isn't. Try looking at the smaller pots, what could you have done in them, did you miss a value bet on the river when you obviously had the best hand. Are you making bad calls preflop which are leading to bad decisions post flop etc. The small pots are often where the best players make their profit.
