Insomnia6590 said:I write couple time about that
But I receive too many negatevive comments and I finish theme
In last 5 days I losse with AA in 60% cases
But many people here write me ''that's normal,this is poker''
ok,i accept his opinion but I do not understand why I can not win in 60% cases against AA
USSUALY I LOSSE IN 95% AGAINST AA
The last example is the game before 2 hours

Insomnia6590 said:ok ...but that's just to words
poker is based on mathematics
no hand can win in 100% of cases
but a good arm like AA or KK can not lose in 50% of cases
many are ready to write "but this is the game"
it's not true and the game is not like that
if you take the cards and split a million hands, look at the percentage of hands you get with AA or KK
I understand,you know betterfinaltable1 said:You see, the problem is that you're calculating wrong maths.
Most of the poker sites, books and people are telling you wrong mathematics of the game.
Well, actually maths are correct, but it's not he dominating mathematical system.
For example when you're entering a real life casino, you're ready to win or spend time or have fun, whatever... it doesn't matter if you're there for poker or roulette. What matters is when you're exiting casino - you're either in plus, or in minus. Before you've entered casino your chances to win or lose have been 50/50. When you're in, and let's say you're playing roulette just by betting black or red - your chances are lower, because out of 37 fields, there is 18red, 18 black and 1 green, plus psychological factor - you have to stop at some point and cashout in order to win... if you win little - you prefer to stay and continue, cause you don't want to look like homeless by taking home just $20 right? so when you're starting the game - your chances including all factors are very low if you compare to the chances of the casino owner.
Now let's get back to online poker. Before cards are dealt - your chances to win the next deal are also 50/50, cause you either win or you either lose(doesn't matter if you just fold or go allin and lose all stack, i mean loss in general)
This is the dominating mathematical system by my opinion. It works both for you and both for your opponent. Now let's say you have 8 opponents at 9 player table, and cards are not dealt, what are the chances for each to win the pot when they get cards before they see them? 100% / 9 = 11% for each... Ok you see the cards now, you have AA, the other guy has KK, the third guy has A4, QQ , 27 and so on... Those who don't want to participate in the pot = they already lost their chance and they're giving away their odds. They fold and lose nothing or just a ante. Now we have AA, KK, QQ and A4s left in the pot. 4 people. Let's say again - they all never saw their 2 cards, but they all want to win the pot, the dominating maths is 100\4 = 25% or 1\4=0.25. Ofc if you know your cards and opponents cards - you can calculate differently, like you've seen on TV, like most of the poker software calcs are calculating, but they're all using the lower mathematical system, like you know your own cards plus opponents cards.
The flop is 7 high.
Now people will try to isolate and get rid of opponents defending their hand and stacks with raise or push, right? Each one with pairs has just 2 outs to improve their hand, while A4 guy has draws and able to improve to straight and or depending on suits he can improve to flush. 3 people with pairs have less outs then the other guy with A4s to improve from flop in lower mathematical system, while in dominating one - like if they don't know their own and opp. cards - they all have 25%. If you're using lower maths system and some sort of calc - then you'll find out that 2 times out of 17 deals your pair will improve to set\full house or quads, 15 times it will remain just a pair. So when you're getting AA - most likely you'll end up with showing people 1 pair at the showdown - your AA, if table is paired - then it will be 2 pairs, but set or fh or quads will be a very rare occasion, str8 or flush even more rare.
Usually the more people are entering the flop - the more chances that there will be something above str8 on the showdown. SO what does it mean? The best thing you can do with your aces is push allin preflop to win, this way most probably your 1 pair will be a winner, cause in lower maths system you're ahead of all other cards. But don't forget that in dominating mathematical system you're still 50% with 1 opponent, you either win or lose on showdown, right? 33% with 3 opponents and so on.
Your pain from losing with AA is coming from expectations... you simply want too much from this hand, but it does not cost that much. Perhaps you think that you're a tight player like some articles say - you're playing just top pairs, strong cards and such and you believe that it makes you strong. Yeah - you're right... on a preflop you might be strong and tight, but will you fold your aces if you see raise+3bet infront of you after you saw the flop? According to the pain in your words I believe you won't fold them, you'll keep playing like a tank, cause "there will be A on turn, and A on the river", right? :motz:
I think that strong player isn't the one sits there waiting for QQ-AA and who only shows these 2 cards before going out in the first hour of tourney. A strong player is the one who shows 38 and a 33388 full house at the river, taking the pot. But to play 38 preflop you have to be smart, considering large number of factors.
Here is something for you to to read about AA, but there is not a single word in these articles regarding cards, just something to think about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_ruin
If you want to win the tourney or at the cash table by plaing AA - well, you can try to. Winning a tourney with just QQ-AA isn't much different then winning a lottery.
If you want to become good at poker - go to the casino or gather your friends at home for a game. And start playing without looking at your cards at all, simply never check what you've got until it's time to show the cards. Keep betting\calling\folding like if you saw your cards, but never look at them until it's time for everyone to see them. It's like you've lost your eyes and your brain has to adopt, it has to start using other senses in order to survive in this world.
I will answer with a counterquestion... WHY WOULD THEY NOT? It is supposed to be posted on facebook, whatsapp, twitter and so on. They might have blend it out for data security of your opponent. Show the handhistory here and we will see...finaltable1 said:Ok - I've asked myself the same question.
But
1) constant winnings with trash is against math and logic.
2) strange behavior - showing and folding cards, not going to showdown and not calling small raises.
3) strange behavior of PS staff who sent me the video without nickname of the last and strange opponent.
Just please answer the 3rd question, for a start. I don't care about their hand selection, most of the hands that i've played been AA-KK-QQ-AK, they choose different, not the boring ones. OK! BUT why do they include all nicknames of my opponents in the video, but haven't included the most important one? The last one, which shocked me.
Ok if he hunts for bounties, ok even maybe only on preflop allins, why it was constant winning from his part? Any 2 = call and win. At the last hand I haven't pushed, i did a 3bet and he went allin with AJ and won vs AQ. Back there I was thinking that he's waiting for someone to push, then he calls and it's a coin flip, so i decided to not give him a chance and simply re-raised. He provoced coin flip on his own and won... WTH?
P.S. In addition to that...
At the final table any place and cash difference between places was giving much more cash than any bounty at the table, except for one bounty - his.

WHY WOULD THEY NOT
Insomnia6590 said:I understand,you know bettermathematics thenpoker sites, books and other people...
Nobady here do not wait AA or QQ to win tournament...so is not clear why you speak about that
you are write really strange things without any reason
But in start your later you wrote this : ''You see, the problem is that you're calculating wrong maths.
Most of the poker sites, books and people are telling you wrong mathematics of the game.''
so if you know so much better than everyone else, then I'm not competent to talk to you
because if you know better than all you are then genius
Wish you good day genius....

kelvin22 said:Let me get this straight... you were outed 3rd in this 4.4$ bounty builder, and PS just happened to send you a video? Or has it started doing that with all players recently? Because i've won almost 6k 2nd, once in a bounty builder and i didn't get shit.
As for what you saw, you might have been against a low-baller, and a pro. Then again, it has been my opinion for some time that pokerstars rigged it's game in order to favor some players over others. What you experienced, happened to me, and probably every other PS player, at least once. The probability and equity for things like that to happen exists... and it is above 0%, which is the main reason why, even if it is rigged somehow, it leaves just enough room for doubt so you can never prove it. Things will start to unfold once you make your first large cashout...
Maybe the guy just felt lucky. I think the best way to get an answer to you question, would be to ask PokerStars yourself. If there is indeed some "fishy" reason, you will most likely get no response whatsoever, or you will receive some very elaborate technical explanation that even they couldn't understand.finaltable1 said:Some sort of very irrational bullshit has happened there and I have no rational answers.

You might want to check the "rigged" threads in the forum. They provide similar experiences, and/or opinions. Maybe you will find something similar in there.
Still, the best you can do, is let it go... i doubt you will find your answer.
