Urg... I was just wondering if anyone else thinks people put to much faith in face cards? After getting smoke last night on about three different ocassions I myself am begining to wonder. So many players on Absolute play there 2,3,4,5,6,7's? Whats up with that? I'm not bitter, just getting tired of my top pairs getting smoked on the river?:hmpf:

people at absolute do suck, you just have to wait for the right time to knock them out if you are a good player. at abosolute your either in the 60 that suck or 40 that doesnt which are you?

I agree people put to much faith in face cards. Even when they have no hope. Do people really think K5os is a good hand.

those face pairs LOL

you half to pay att to the betting patterns of the players early on it is hard.but you can figure it out. when you have four players with an all in, it is your turn you have and remember any Two cards can win!! even ifn you have KK AA QQ
Ithink you will loose more often than win with tht many callers thats my oppion dont know if i'm right. just my opp.

I totally agree with you. Against four all in, for me QQ are like 27, KK like 83 and AA like 55. The odds of winning decreases a lot when facing 4 players, even if they have crap.

I don't know why, but on absolute, the game seems to be totally different ...
Players going all in on ridiculous hands and winning, and the worst part is that you call his all in with extraordinary good hands and always seem to lose ...
And I'm not talikng about freerolls, but real money tables ...

I think that the higher the stakes the better chance the best hand before the flop and after the flop wins. I played 3-6 a lot until i found that 10-20 is better because less people play weak hands that get lucky on the river.

yeah it seems like that everywhere, i find u have to take advantage of whatever your holding and atleast trying to see the flop before u fold (thats if u never hit anything on the flop). I've been even noticing when your seeing the pros play on the wpt or ept that ppl, especailly ones who come from poker sites, have started to change the face of poker. We have to adjust to the new poker out there now and learn to play thru it.
