Message: [QUOTE="ericgarner118, post: 1157502, member: 40196"] Like jurn8 said, it is probably just variance. Think about it this way, if you go AI preflop with Aces and you get called by 66 you will loose 20% of the time, and that is if it's heads up if you get called by the same guy and some one holding 22 you are only going to win 66% of the time. That may sound like a huge favorite (it is) but in the long run you will still loose a good bit of the time. Also, you don't always have to go AI preflop, yeah you do have an advantage preflop, but your EV after the flop can be far larger. You can have someone calling your bets even if they are drawing dead. AI preflop is something you will have to do sometimes but it isn't the be all end all in poker [/QUOTE]
