OT: Getting AA Cracked and Y

just_the_nuts

In Texas Holdem Poker AA is the best starting hand and in a all in heads up its a 80% favorite to win.

So y do ppl lose so much money with them ?

For one the math dictates that even played correctly 20% of the time some one will suck out on you. Any profitable player will take this gamble and in the long run make tons of cash with AA

The main reason ppl lose lots of cash is not knowing the correct way to play the hand

For one the math above is the math for a one on one heads up situation. If you pussy limp AA into a 6 or 10 man family pot you only have a 50-60% chance to win

This is y its so important to raise the pot big like 5 to 10 times the big blind to isolate and give yourself the 80% edge

Scared money don't make money
