Is AA less likely to win online?

[CDNMAN 42]

AA online

I'm pretty sure that over time AA will prevail however has anyone noticed on pokerstars the frequency of an A on the board compared to other cards? In a recent MTT I kept track and there appeared an A 32% of the time pout of 85 hands of which there was a board for 58 hands displaying at least one A 19 times...I have logged similar results previously and am convinced that PS RNG has a preference built in for Aces.

I lost with AA today again. I think it's easier to lose with AA online, especially in freerolls. People playing freerolls are reckless. I had a gut call my all in with 82 offsuit and he won with a two pair.

The problem with playing AA is that if you bet high, everyone runs. If you bet low everyone calls and then the variance increases monstrously!
Most important of all is knowing where (freeroll, micro buy in, medium buy in ...) And with whom (fish, sharks, maniacs ...) are you playing ...

 

[azforlife]

no

I think this falls in the category of is internet poker rigged? If you can simulate chess online & find that acceptable I don't know why it's such a mystery when it comes to Poker! You can be worried about cheating maybe if you're playing on shady sites but I think everyone does their best because it's to their best interest since cheating rumors can literally kill your business but people thinking Pokerstars always brings out a 7 when its 77 * an A when it's KK is ludicrous

I notice that a lot of the times I play my AA it gets beat either through a flush or trips. It is not my favorite hand to play and I do lose a lot of the times I play this hand. Once in a while it does win, but not as much as I wish it would.

As amateur players we tend to think that with AA we are invincible. And we have seen, especially at online tables, that AA does not guarantee anything. Many times you win with AA, but many times you also lose. Do you think that the chances of winning with AA in online poker decrease?

If it is obvious to think that with a pair of AA we are invincible but it is best to know how to play it at all times, it is clear that the probability is great but still how you play it is a relevant factor at the table, I always recommend watching and analyzing the style of play of each player to see if they could go in the bet otherwise put an all in and give back.

I think I've stumbled across the "problem" right there with "tend to think that with AA we are invincible." 85% or so against a random hand means that we'll lose with AA about 15% of the time. Online is faster paced because you don't have to wait for as much player thinking, moving chips around, dealer shuffling and so on. At just a click of a button (or automatically in cases such as dealing cards), things can happen and so the pace of the game is faster; with more hands played in the same time frame, we will experience more. This means more variance for that time-span; more wins and more losses.

I'd say AA wins equally online as in-person because the math is the same. What might change would maybe be HOW MUCH you win in chips online versus in-person because of various human elements, but that has to do with how they play and not the math. What I mean by human elements is something like how in-person, you typically need to open-raise larger with amateurs to get them to fold preflop because people come to the casino to play (not fold all day patiently unless they are a pro/reg).

AA should win equally as often online or in-person; it makes no difference.

caught AA so you're cool? No pocket AAs are weaker than AK, I almost lose with AA and other pairs

 

[dgroes]

AA is statistically more winner than AK. offline or online. assuming cards are distributed without preference

 

[No Bologna]

No Bologna

Yes. Because Knucleheads will play weak hands and not fold. They play to the river and catch something to crack your aces and do it again because it worked for them before.

 

[Zapahlohotrona]

Well, roughly speaking, the equity against aces is 20%. 2 times in a row I caught a trips of aces on the flop and lost it twice to junk hands like 52s, which reached a flush on the river. Distance will return everything (but this is not certain).

Playing Poker for over 20 years has taught me one thing, and that is any 2 cards can win, and any 2 cards can lose, It is not an on-line conspiracy that means AA will lose more often on-line as it does in Live games.
When you take into account that on average you play at the very least three times more hands per hour than you would in a live game, and this can double if you are playing 2 games simultaneously, then it will happen more often that AA will lose.
It is common sense that tells us that if you play only twice as many hands per hour, it will happen twice as often, Poker is Poker and it happens on-line just as much as Live games, It only seems to lose more often on-line, because you are playing more hands.
Only a few days ago I had a decent chip stack and caught 88 one of my favorite hands, and someone pushed all-in with 99, I called, and lost about half my chips, two hands later I was dealt 88 again and I pushed all-in getting 2 callers with AK and AQ, even though a Queen hit the flop I caught an 8 on the turn and took out 2 players, it happens with any pocket pair, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
You have to get over your Bad Beats, suck it up, and get on with another hand.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Hi MauroMMMM. All I can say about this question is the fact that I have had my AA cracked many times, but I sure have won with them many more times. GL today. May your AA not get cracked

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

I don’t know, I didn’t have any problems with AA online. It seems that the random number generator gives everything correctly) It is clear that bad bids will be met. AA loses 20% of the time and is not an undefeated hand.

 

[Luvepoker]

It does not matter if your live or online. Pocket aces will win about 80% of the time. If all in pre flop. If you talking about losing with aces after the flop with post flop play, they do lose more often and many times due to the players play. This is the same live or online.

 

[ianleel]

no different in live or online but u play more hands online so online happens more

 

[elchonga]

is no different live or online, but you play more hands online, so online happens more

Absolutely agree live happens the same
Online you play more hands and the other players pay more too

 

[Garfield52]

AA is less likely to win online than if you were playing live poker (especially if it was with a group that you know). On you have guys that will play just about anything. They just do not care. It is like they are spinning the roulette wheel and are hoping for the best. I have been beat with AA more times than I care to remember.

 

[TerryBLE]

No, what actually happens is that due to the high probability of win people give this hand a 100% chance of success, and when they lose, especially with that hand, it takes time to get out of memory.

 

[fruittree]

I believe it does! Because players online usually play more hands due to speed and lower limits. So maybe because they are challenged more online. So percentage may go up a tad!

 

[AmyricoLiliana]

I've already knocked out someone who's had an AA pair or a KK in their hand. It's enough for two little couples to come up or whatever. The AA couple is not indefensible.
A lot of people put everything on a tall couple right away, but it's not always a winner. I think it'🙂

 

[Gusborgs22]

Same odds
But online in a day you get 5 AAs for example
Live you get 1 AA every 2 days
So you'll see more cracked AA online

 

[aviatorsam]

Not that great! I get scared of playing AA especially if the board pairs of if it's draw heavy!

 

[kanycta99]

There is no difference. Just by playing online, you win a lot more hands than live. And online you're more likely to lose with AA in the same amount of time you spend playing offline.

 

[moularaki]

It's about the same
as soon you get a big pair, it is more likely sur that you may loose it all
