lol this is a far as i got. maybe the had trip 7's dealt. also AA is 85% to win vs. on random hand not 80%. the more players your in w/the less likely to win. but having said that i'll take aces any day of the week.zachvac said:
So am I running way hot to have in the last 50k hands:
AA - 221
Win - 203 (92%)
Lose - 17 (8%)
Tie - 1 (<1%)
I am sure some of that is luck... but I do think it's the way you play the damn things.
They are NOT an 80% winner with more than 1 caller. In fact 6 handed or so they start looking like a coinflip pre flop.
Think about how you are playing them.

Hey bud, AA yeah so many say i hate AA but hey as u said it will lose 80% hu u didnt mention how many people saw a flop and how much u raised preflop hopefully u did raise if not ...shame on you for letting alot of limpers in 🙂 maybe pump those bullets a little harder preflop next time Gl at the tables Damon789 peace
I still can't believe conversations like these are going on in poker forums. Every month or so it seems like one pops up. All it takes to prove or disprove all of these claims (and everyone will be disproved) is spend about ten minutes with Pokerstove. Pocket aces are the best starting hand that you can have. Will they win every time? Of course not. Will your aces loose to 72o? It sure can happen. All you can do is (probably 99% of the time) raise preflop, keep your eyes open post flop, and play aggressive. Everytime I see one of these topics it really makes me want to go play poker 😀
yup if your having troube playing or winning with AA you may just me having trouble with poker sir.
AA is exactly what it was a long time ago..that being THE BEST starting hand in poker. Thats almost like saying flopping a full house isnt what it used to be lol.
you just gotta make sure your making proper raises and reraises and not trying to play against more than 1 or at maximum 2 opponents. cuz when that happens your in huge trouble.
best of luck

One thing I have learned from playing online poker is not to slow play AA.

Yes, one of these threads starts every month, but I have to say that I am very impressed with everyone taking responsibility for their aces getting cracked - two pages of posts and not one person insisting that online poker is rigged 😀
It is nice to see so may posts with good suggestions on the state of AA. I am posting because I finished in 18th out of 3700 in a tournament today helped by poket AA. The fun part was when the flop came A,10,A. Two players continued to bet into me; one with a full house 10's full of AA and the other with a busted flush draw.
Ooooh what a thing of beauty!!

Yes after playing my many hands i've played i've been dealt poket aces countless times. I think i've lost with them like 2 times out of 300 or something lol and on the times I lost with them it was because I either tried to slow play (which I've learned through experience I'd rather bet big straight out of the gate and try and pick up the pot than to check-call only to see someone make a better hand) or just didn't back down and fold in the face of adversity. Learn to read the board texture more and pay attention to your opponents betting patterns
I am goosy with AA just like AK etc. in the early position and will be more tight in playing them there than late in the hand - where I will push harder. I've lost with AA plenty of times, like everyone else, but i don't like losing all my chips early in the game - heavy duty aggressive play is put off until the bubble. I mostly play tourneys and SnG's.
I think pocket aces really depends on where you play. Im not gonna say online is rigged but, it is. seriously though, AA wins probably about 80% of the time in a real game. Online, and I agree with you about the fishers calling to the river, AA probably only wins 20-25%
