Do you often lose with AA?

[nerobs9]

I think I win more than I lose

 

[miriancastro]

A lot, it looks like a curse. AA and KK seems to be ripped.

 

[dartablasta]

Normally and based on my stats, i loose 1 of 12 times with aces xD Like 20% its so sick

 

[hobojim1247]

I have lost more times with the AA than I have won.

I hate to break it to you but if this is a true and factual statement then please set up a class to teach how to play them that badly. I suspect it seems that way because the human mind it geared to remember bad results and forget the good ones.

 

[hobojim1247]

Onlines a fools game I hate to break it you man.

Then why do you play it.

 

[hobojim1247]

In another thread awhile back someone observed that it is not the fact that AA, and other big pairs, lose so often, it is because our expectations soar when we see them and then they are crushed if they lose, making them more memorable.

It happens a lot at micro stakes where a bunch of people come in hand when AA on me

It happens a lot at micro stakes where a bunch of people come in hand when AA on me

the reason it happens a lot in microstakes is because more people play more garbage hands out of ignorance and bad play. The more people seeing the flop the more cards that can make two pair or trips or a straight. Years ago when I started to play I saw a graph that showed that AA against one opponent is 84% to win and that percentage is reduced by 11% for each addition player . I don't know where the numbers come from but I mucked one time when five people limped to me on the button, I raised an appropriate amount and then the SB shoved and was followed by the BB and 4 limpers, who had QQ, JJ, and other SH, IT hands. It was smart of me since some dipcrap flopped a 9 high straight with his favorite hand , 69.
I learned a lesson to follow my instincts when something smells stinky, although I fail to that at times.

Hi CaptainZzz

Does folding count as losing? I lose a fair share of the time. I don't push All-in as much as I used to, but if the board comes don't monotone in a suit I don't have or a mid-pack, three cards straight, I know where the hand is likely heading. So an "easier" lay-down.

 

[GERSteven]

Yes, I often lose with aces, but AK is even worse for me. 30 seats away from the ticket

 

[alabos]

2 option i loose the hand because i play safe and i'm not raising my pocket pair or i raise my pocket pair and i win nothing because all the players fold

 

[vnnby]

When aces, I always expect an interesting hand)

 

[bruno13xs]

losing with AA is one of the things that happens to me the most and leaves me very tilted and the whole game goes downhill afterwards.

 

[VGShaa]

I don't keep track of my losses, I can definitely download that with pocket aces I win more than I lose.

 

[moularaki]

you can loose with any hand so why not AA
it does happen to me often. it's part of the game

 

[AlphaCentauro]

About 50/50

 

[elchonga]

yes and generally against very bad cards and bad payouts

 

[Atom Winner]

I've lost very rarely with AA

 

[vardann]

in large cases, I win about 4 times out of five and, accordingly, I lose in one of the five hands

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

With a hand AA, the probability of winning is about 80% preflop when playing all in, but somehow it feels like I lose more often)) maybe I think so)

 

[bullkk]

25%

 

[finaltable1]

too often to be real.

 

[June4Spades]

Seldom, when I play heads up. But often when I play against 3 or more opponents.

 

[RustyRed83]

A quick look at my stats accross all poker rooms, I've loose around 16% of the time.

always and forever😄
