Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 5983789, member: 419963"] It happens a little bit. Granted, getting dealt AA at all doesn't happen too often, but when you do get AA, then sometimes they will all fold and other times you'll get action. I don't think there is much to get around it though, here are some thoughts of mine on this situation: -At least I didn't get outdrawn :D I'm okay with taking down the pot right there. -If they all folded to a single open-raise, then you probably wouldn't get much value even if they did call; they would probably just check-fold. -It happens because it is part of the game, but it balances because it happens to everyone, so you aren't really losing out on value because it happens equally to everyone long-term. I get the point, but AA gets cracked more than 10% of the time, that is a bit optimistic. Heads-up (one opponent) pocket Aces should win about 85% against a random hand. However, just like with every other two cards, you have less equity when more players are in the pot. This is why raising and isolating is useful, even AA doesn't have great equity if the entire table is in the hand! Yes, AA is still favored, but it would then be very vulnerable to being outdrawn if you have to face eight other limpers xD Maybe they more-or-less can? If live, then perhaps some physical tell(s) and if online then perhaps timing tells or something similar. Otherwise, it is probably just your perception because we humans remember the bad beats and unlucky cases more than we do the good results :D +1 The game seems to have changed from what I hear. My thinking exactly when I win with AA by everyone folding :) Agreed, but even this doesn't bother me a ton. It does a little more than the walk in general, but they probably would be check-fold even if they continued so I probably wouldn't get paid if they continued anyway. [/QUOTE]
