Such unfortunate situations happen quite often, but I've learnt to ignore them, I just keep playing and go for the win. I don't have a goal to win with all the strong hands, although it would be nice. I do have a goal to win the tournament, and I'm trying to do my best not to lose this chance.yetbam said:

Memory is a tricky thing...one remembers when AA gets beat by 46os, and forgets the other 99% of the time it wins. One also has to consider the stakes...these things happen more in freerolls than $1-2 tables...players make bad moves when they have no "skin" in the game.CRStals said:
Not preflop unless its the bubble of a satellite or DoN, and you have enough chips to fold your way into the money. Lets make it a little scientific by pulling out ICMizer and look at a theoretical situation from the bubble of an MTT. To make it easy I choose a 45-man SnG from PokerStars, since the payouts in these are very similar to most MTTs. Its down to 9 players on the final table, and 7 places pay, so this is essentially the bubble. Blinds are 300/600, and everyone have identical 7.500 stacks, so we are 12,5BB deep. UTG moves all-in, and it folds to us in BB.enno said:
You can't always win with a big hand, mathematically impossible, remember this.yetbam said:
Actually I am a little surpriced, that the difference between AA and KK is not larger than this. But I guess, its because, its relatively rare, they actually have an A, if their range is literally any two cards. In a more common situation of being against a range of top 20% hands, the equity of KK drop to around 75%, while the equity of AA stay more or less the same at 85%.hutzpaf said:
Welp, AA and KK are virtually the same hand with the difference that KK can get outdrawn by the hands with aces, while AA can't and the fact that AA dominates KK, which is not that big of a factor here.fundiver199 said:

The problem with these stat generators, they don't take context into account. 'Random' hands aren't usually getting played against AA or KK, and they definitely aren't getting played all-in against those hands. If AA/KK decides to limp you get 3 or 4 or more callers and then the stats are more valid but also worse for the AA/KK hands.hutzpaf said:
