Is it my imagination, but the number of times now that AA and KK turn up in the same deal appears to be consistant. It may be because they are so close to each other that it is noticed, but I can't recall this happening with other close together pairs.

Not really, what happens is that players do play more AA, KK, QQ, JJ than say 33, 22, 44, etc up to 99.
With Low pairs must players just Fold those pairs, in the other hand, we (including myself) will keep on playing the top pairs AA, KK :deal:

hi hi :ciao:
i no believe that the situation
easiest is to check your hand history stats then you see that the frequency exact for you
if you determine your conclusion by the pairs you "see" it likely the case as pescaofish say - players usually play those high pairs to showdown
so gives you that illusion

+1 Plus psychologically, we are more likely to remember hands we barely lost on than ones where we were behind the whole way. This is a great contributor to the infamous "pocket Aces never win." They certainly do win the majority of the time, but players remember the times they lose more often because they are expecting the "better" hand to win and this is a flawed mindset. Likewise, your Cowboys (KK) losing to pocket Aces has a better chance of staying with you in the few cases where they occur.

Just to clarify, what I am trying to say isn't that certain hands ALWAYS outplay other hands, but that there is danger in over-estimating a hand than what the math actually is. Pocket Aces will beat Pocket Kings a lot (classic set over set theme, but here with pocket pair over pocket pair), but we are naturally more inclined to remember the bitter loses we barely got into than the hands where we weren't so close to winning.

AA vs KK is the Titans' confrontation at the game table where in most cases they go all in. Only this way the game can eliminate a good player, stretching a trap.

We just remember the bad beats way more than the hands where you 3-bet with kings and villain folded.

there may be a theory for this, usually when AK comes, someone comes with a pair, it may be coercive or it may be some poker entity ....... there are people who believe that there is no coicit, so there is some explanation, already other people is just coincidence ......

I actually don't even know what to say, I just watch !!
