Hello, how are you people? Yesterday, 12/12/2016, I did a 4 card test of a deck, I have 3 kings, Kc, Kh, Ks and a Js. The test consisted of shuffling the cards, removing one and trying to beat the color, before seeing the card. The goal was a reaffirmation of a sense of conviction in the game's mathematics, which ends up being lost after a few bad sessions. This post is more for those who are just getting started and have not yet understood that one can not doubt math. Then we know that there are 3 black letters and one red letter (3 black 75% 1 red 25%) so choosing the red letter is a mistake, even if you have a revelation in addition that the letter taken is red, you should not Choose it. The test result was 9 times I chose the black, 8 times hit red, strange? No, it's normal, we know in the long run that's what matters. It is a very simple thing, but it can eliminate that feeling that always beats, the opponent's cards when the river appears to be beating 1, 2 3 outs of the opponent, this is not true, the short term is normal .if there is a chance of your opponent then Consider this chance and know that it is perfectly normal. And I will always choose red in this situation because math is by my side. So my all-in preflop with KK is hit by Ax I always prefer to have KK in these situations good luck for everyone.

Can I borrow your time machine? How is the future? Is everything still there? What are the power-ball numbers gonna be this week? Just kidding! I think you got your date confused. But I think your experiment is spot on. I feel poker has a lot to do with mathematics. I think that is why I enjoy poker so much. I was a natural at math and I feel I do fairly good at poker.:D:D

This is definitely a good exercise to remember that having a strong chance of success does not guarantee success on any one single event. The mental game is one of the toughest to conquer.

Also it would be in fact UNUSUAL if you're AA didn't get cracked once in a while. I heard a story about how a person won a major lottery twice in their life. It seems unusual, but in fact it would be unusual if there were never a person who won the lottery twice in their life. Or the question: how many people would have to be put in a room until it is more likely than not that two people share the same birthday ? The answer is just around 30 people. Very odd.
