Thanks for the information sir, but I was already informed of this very unfortunate fact.
If I have an underpair vs any two overcards, there is NO WAY one of the overcards doesn't come. If I'm lucky, it's on the flop, unlucky, it's on the river when I got my hopes up.
Only way I can win is if I hit a set, which should be around 20 % of the times, but strangely enough seems to be just a bit more often. (25 - 30). Very strange. I'm a set-guy, not a coinflip-guy...

That's why it would really help to have a coin at hand at situations like these I always have coins in my pocket when playing poker for these kind of situations.

Dude, you'll only hit a set about 12% of the time over a long period

That's counting the flop, isn't it? But when you are all in in a coinflip, you get to see all five cards. Which should make it almost 20 %. Or am I wrong?

Sorry sir but I don't believe you: you are lying or maybe you just have played only a tournament in your life.

i try to avoid them as much as possible, but nothing you can do in some situations

in the long run only the house wins.
