What are the odds?

CARDS DONT HAVE MEMORIES!!!

You always have the same chance of winning.

You mean the events are independent? Yes. "Memory" has nothing to do with it: the outcome of one heads-up confrontation has nothing to do with the other. Your point?

Thus how many times you lose with kk against ax becomes irrelevant.

Nope -- the odds of losing a 71/29 (roughly) favorite fifteen times in a row is astronomically low. Yes, it "can" happen, but the odds are roughly 1/10000000...not likely. I suspect the "memory" of the OP -- #. of opps., what was x each time? etc.

What i mean is if you lost with kk 10 times in a row, you still have the same chance of winning on the 11th. Thats fact.

People here seem to be asuming that because you lose with kk a few times that you have a better chance win the next time. Thats clearly false.

this is just a situation of playing online poker I think... in real life I think that KK's would be favored before the flop to win most of the time

kk's are favoured to win before the flop most of the time online.

..must agree with a coupl of the comments up there...imo, you definitely are not raising enough preflop...dont just raise 3xbb or stanard..if there are more limpers, increase this ot 4 or prob 5Xbb....im not speaking from experinece, beause i was just given this advice last week on thsi forum, and its making so so much sense to me...but its ul to have so may aces on board when you ave kk...but if its coming no fop. then it might be easy to get away from

well, my only advice is to stop going in on only.. (odds) cause oddly enough the numbers never match up with the randomization programs.. just see more flops, then act...
