Message: [QUOTE="finaltable1, post: 4198427, member: 187503"] Never say never. At first - don't compare TV shows with situatuions you are participating in. TV stars are paid to play, they already won their money in past and what they actually do - they're artists, and their main goal is to make you want to play poker and they are showing you how to play it. The second question is where is the truth. For them - being well paid for that TV poker session and with a high bankroll behind it doesn't matter what hand to play and how to play it. If i was sitting there, being paid for the game and taking the game process as a freeroll i would lie to the world in my every move. Because millions of my possible opponents are watching and studying my game style. In second. If you're at the final table, 2 people go all infront of you and you have AA. Just think about it. If you don't know your cards and your opponents cards, the chances to win in a 3 way pot are 33.33%, and these chances are not good for you. You might say that "I've got a best preflop hand" - yeah, But actually you've got 1 pair so far and thats the fact. In 3rd. If these 2 players go all in, and you've got AA - check the payout ladder. One of them goes out = you get +10% cash. One of them goes short stacked = you get weaker opponent. and finally. After hundreds or thousands of final tables i can say that most of the winnings come from the timer, not from the monster hands. If you've got a nice stack, let the others play and eleminate each other, this way you'll climb up the money ladder by just sitting and waiting. Few times in my life i've come to the final table short stacked and ended up playing HU vs 5-25 times bigger stack, ending up winning the 1st place. But the HU started only because of the timer, because i was folding AK, JJ and such, and let the other players eleminate each other with JJ vs 88 allins. Please never say never, and keep in mind that you don't need AA to win the 1st place, you only need chip and chair. AA is just a pair, AK is just a speculative monster hand. And there is a difference between gambler and winner. [/QUOTE]
