Love them. My least favorite card is AK, I've lost countless times with it.

What's not love pre flop? At that moment you have the best hand at any table. After the flop it's just a pair, a great pair but still gets beaten often.

Love them. You must play them as aggressive as possible. They are hard to throw away when you try to get sneaky and it doesn't go as the plan.

Pocket AA preflop always evokes pleasant emotions. However, this is not yet a win. Two aces in poker block a huge number of combinations that opponents would like to enter the hand with.The worst thing someone with pocket aces can see is several people calling his open raise preflop.

I hate them. The reason is simple, I see them more frequently in other people's hands than in my own.
It also blinds me, making me falsely assume that I am going to win in a heads-up.

Really strange. Your memory is only reminding you of the hands you lose.

Often the hands that we lose are more memorable and we end up forgetting the hands that we won in the same situation. This explains this feeling.

If your most money-making hands don't have AA as the number one by far followed by KK you are making some big mistakes playing holdem.

Sometimes AA give bad experiences but this is poker and only take a break and come back.

Hating cards is like hating a cup or a pencil. There are two options, you either play well or you play poorly. If you play well, then you should have good results and feel good, if you play badly, then you should do everything to become better. Hate just has no place here :)

Unfortunately I don't have a hand tracker to back this up - but I can say with complete certainty that I hate AA, I lose an awful lot postflop with them - and I feel sick when I see this combination in my hand. :D

Why do you guys hate AA? If you hold AA 10 times, you win 8 games, maybe 10 games.

It's a good hand, but just yesterday I was disqualified from one prize position when I all won AA with 14BB

Definitely Understandable

The let down is the worst with pocket AAs

Accurate analogy.
