poker? I hardly know 'er!
this game for being addicting, yet full of bull
poker? I hardly know 'er!
Getting sucked out is one of the more irritating things in life.
I hate pocket aces. Things are like a in' curse for me.
The worst players always say things like "I hate pocket aces". I met a girl at a local casino recently who was fundamentally sound but made one of the dumbest comments I've ever heard from someone who obviously knows the game at least decently.
"I hate to get it all in preflop with AA"
Odd, nothing the winning player should like more than to get it all in PF with AA.
I think Dex meant he's had some bad beats with AA. Not that he doesn't really want them.
I'm just telling you the things I've heard bad players say. I don't know how good/bad Dex is.
My favorite tell is when a crappy player starts grabbing a handful of chips when the action is still several places before. As if they are about to raise.
This. I still hope for them every time....even though they've screwed me more often than not.
I feel like I play them right. I try to raise the stakes PF to scare away most of the players (in bigger tables) and get it down to one or two opponents, and then if things don't look too bad on the flop (no obvious flush or straight draws on the board) and I'm in position, I'll start hard betting. I never try to trap because I know the more cards people see, the worse my chances get.
Still never fails, even if we go all-in preflop, I still end up getting beat by someone who rivers two pair or a straight or some BS.
If you've got suggestions, I'd be glad to try them.

I swear at least 100000000 times I've been dealt a pair of aces, a third ace was on the board, and I lost to someone else with an identical hand because they were closest to left of the dealer. drives me nuts.
LOL. What the are you talking about?
1) If you have an identical hand, you should be splitting the pot.
2) You should probably stop playing with 5 aces.
Dex - you have to be really bad to screw up aces. Just play them strong like you're doing but don't be too scared even if there is a draw on the board. More often than not weak players will lose more money folding aces than by being sucked out on. If you're up against a draw with aces more often than not on the flop you're still a huge (2:1 or so) favorite so you want people to come along but you want to make sure you're not giving them a good price. If you get sucked out on then just move on to the next hand.
When I played I never had a losing month with aces. I had months where I went on unbelievable slides and just didn't hit like I should have but never once did I have a losing month with AA,KK,QQ or AK. To be fair, in those months I probably played more hands than most players see in their entire lives so obviously the statistics will be much closer to the expected values but the point that the big hands will win out is true none the less.
I'm never unhappy to see rockets in the hole.
um, yeah, the ?
oh wow so many things wrong with this scenario.
stop playing with 2 decks and tell your friends that equal hands split the pot.
TBH I'd rather sit across from the dealer. I get a better view of the whole table. Left of the dealer you usually get blocked by the dealer from seeing the dude to his/her right.
Also, TBH, I would kill for a four color deck live the way I always had it online as well as the dealer keeping a running total on the pot and my opponents stacks because having to count stacks and the pot on the fly really pisses me off.
My favorite is listening to people tell me stories about poker.
I don't understand how a reasonable person would think someone else would find it interesting about how they won or lost a hand.
It's as bad if not worse than someone telling me how their fantasy squad barely squeaked out a win last week because of ......
Then you need to play them better. What sucks is getting pocket aces getting two or more people to call and then seeing a couple of faces and no ace on the flop. You best check that or fold.
I know normally you split the pot. But for some reason on this online poker game on my phone it gives it to the person closest to left of dealer. Apparently some people plays it that way
I play Texas hold Em so its possible for two people to have 3 aces
Oh so u suddenly decide to post here when tebow gets your broncos relevant again? got. Lol cutler
I think Texas Hold 'Em is the general assumption these days.
But you said "dealt a pair of aces (aka pocket aces), with a third ace on the board". The only way someone else can have an identical hand than you is if they also have pocket aces, and that's pretty damn impossible with every single decks of cards I've ever seen. I would start checking sleeves if I were you.
The only way two people can have three aces is if there are two aces on the board. If you have pocket aces and there is one on the board, then your set of aces will beat anybody else's pair of aces.
My eyes get big and juicy when I hear someone say they hate pocket aces. I casually will get a seat change to make sure i have position on that player so I can stack them when they overplay their hand or attack them with agression if the board looks scary and I can bluff them.
Anyone who says they hate pocket aces does not know how to play them. They can be tricky but remember after the flop they are just a pair with multiple callers preflop be prepared to ditch them
LOL...
Ain't that the truth!
rofl i just realized my mistake. i fail at at life.
i meant being dealt AQ or AK, basically an ace and a high card
