check this one: I got AK vs KJ and was very happy when I saw he was dominated
I swear the flop was [J J J] (I don't recall the turn/river)
but this one was actually funny what I get mad is losing AK to QJ (those donks go all-in with QJ)
You do know that QJ vs AK has a better chance of winning than AK vs KJ, right? I believe its about a 35% chance for QJ, and a 25% KJ.
I think some players are confused. Just because you're a favorite to win a hand, it doesn't mean you are
guaranteed to win the hand. One thing to keep in mind is that if you're opponent has any chance of beating you, even just a 1% chance, it'll happen. Unless you are holding the absolute nuts, your hand can and will eventually be beaten. Take a look at some hand examples if 2 players went all in PF:
AKo =
61% chance to win
vs 3/2s =
38% chance to win
AKs =
65% chance to win
vs 8/10o =
33% chance to win
AA =
85% chance to win
vs 7/Jo =
15% chance to win
QQ =
78% chance to win
vs 3/5s =
21% chance to win
So, you can see that while you maybe a favorite in these examples, it clearly doesn't mean that you are guaranteed a winner. In the AKo vs 32s, 32s has about a 40% chance to win if all the chips go in PF. Just to simply things, but it really isnt an accurate reading, that means that hand will win 4 out 10 times.
When it comes to MTTs, there is a mix of skill and luck involved. More so skill than luck, but there is not a doubt in my mind that luck is a factor. Except for when it comes to Combuboom. He is pure 100%, unfiltered skill. We all need to lucky sometimes. Both in poker and IRL. The thing is, luck doesnt always happen. And thats where skill comes into play. Knowing what hands to play in certain situations, knowing when to fold, when to raise, when to trap, etc are all necessary skills you'll need to do well on a more consistent basis.
If you remember from the hand examples, the best hand PF was always the favorite to win, never the other way around. If you always have the bigger edge, you will win more often. Its as simple as that. So, continue to get your hand in with the best hand. The beats will happen and they will hurt sometimes, but keep in mind that skill > luck in the long run.
