In this situation, we find ourselves with a pair of aces :ah4::ad4:, undoubtedly a respectable hand. However, our opponents are showing a full house, a quite solid and challenging combination to beat.

The chances of improving our hand against a full house are scarce. In these cases, it's important to stay calm and analyze our options objectively. Sometimes, the most appropriate course of action might be to fold if opponents display significant aggression.

In poker, facing difficult situations is inevitable, and part of being an experienced player is knowing how to make rational decisions based on the available information. Let's remember that, at times, it's more valuable to minimize losses than to persist in an unlikely hand.

Luck plays a role in the game, but the ability to adapt to circumstances and make strategic decisions is what truly defines us as poker players. Let's stay focused and concentrated at the tables. Good luck to everyone!🍀

:oops:

That's a good example you're sharing; there are similar hands, and there are even two pairs on the table. Greetings

If only you read this post before! ;)

Assuming this was play money, otherwise, hope you're OK!
If you missed it, it's because you still don't follow me. Haha, greetings!

if you think about it, pp are nice, but in the end you only have two outs to beat any real good hand, so beware the pp.

What is there to learn, if a flush or a straight is on the way, then AA, of course, needs to be folded.

Oh yeah! Really, regardless of the modality, it is essential to know how to fold strong hands and stick to the information, characteristics of our opponent and his range in the situation. Thank you for reminding us to stay focused and focused at the tables, it really is important.

Not quite sure, what you mean? People dont show their hand until showdown, or until the action is over. Unless maybe if its live poker, and some kind of mistake happen.

The title was "Beautiful Retreat," but well, they changed it.

Of course, it's just that some players go all the way to the end without letting go of their pair. It's not about what the opponent sees but rather about the attachment some players have to that hand.

Yes it was, the pot was over $1million 🤣
I was playing for breakfast :eek::LOL:

You must always consider the odds on winning, regardless on the hand.
AA makes you want to all in, but sometimes the flop makes something very obvious, like straight or flush.
If you see your odds aren't higher you must fold AA, but it hurts hahah

You're right, you always have to analyze the odds; it doesn't hurt as much if you learn when to fold.
