Posted by M3turbo: http://www.cdpoker.com/ pres pokerschool then probabilities and you will see that AA should win 75% (2/3).
Yeah but that's in an head up situation, because if 4 more players see the flop you mostlikly lose with you're pocket AA But in an heads up situation it's defniatly nice cards to have
And that is exactly why you should raise hard pre-flop and not "lure in 3-4 players" !

yeah, not all hands of course but like AK and QA and good cards, becaus i felt that i ran in to bad beats all the time, so i started taking notes, and it was just odds

But the notes you got on how many times you win with different cards, are useless if you play the cards wrong. Like luring in 3-4 players to see flop with AA. Then you will get wrong stats on your hands!

True, if you raise hard preflop with AA you will win approximately 75% of you're AA hands

People tend to slow play it alot and you only got 1 pair the lowest posible made hand in poker. When you slow play it 2 things can happen: you win a small pot(because opponent doesn't hit) or lose a big pot because you let opponent get 2pair/set/str8/flush or worse. Ofcourse in some cases you could get a monster by slow playing it but I would say it's very seldom.

I think you should mix it up, depending on the tightness of the table you are playing. It's good to get people of of the pot with a big preflop raise, but on the other hand, you got the preflop nuts. It always feels bad when everybody folds to the bullets, because you raised to much preflop...
