    I havent had pocket AA in about 2 months

    Yep probably about 650 or so hands. Ran into it about 30-40 times and got burnt a few. Cant make a big poker run without getting the cards. Had KK maybe 3-4 times, just not fair every time the cards are dealt i say "ok here they come, its finally my time to get a dominant preflop hand". But it never happens

    I think not getting AA after 650 hands (assuming 650 hands are one trial) happens around 5.25% of the time, or 1 out of 19 trials. Your situation is definitely uncommon, but not ridiculously rare.

    You joined one week ago and you have already played 650 hands and you are not even a Pro. Math doesn't add up.

    i heard a rumor that somebody copied off sbr and made their own poker room so people could play while not on sbr poker. so far this rumor is unsubstantiated.

    First off, if you haven't gotten AA in over a month the first thing that comes to mind is "you must not play very may hands of poker in the average month"

    To the point, your chances of being dealt AA is 0.45% or roughly 1 in 215 hands.

    And yes, you can make a big poker run without getting big hands - have you ever attempted to play a tourney without looking at your hole cards? I've actually won a 180 man tourney without looking at my hole cards... and I've learned even more about myself and other poker players by not taking a peak. Insteald of playing YOUR cards, you play others - you are forced to play position, learn how to easily expose weak raises, learn the value of 3-4 betting etc.....

    Bluffing is one of the main weapons we as poker players have in our arsenal, if you know what you are doing, strong starting hands are not always necessary to ensure a decent run.

    P.S - Once at a live tourney, I was dealt AA b2b... now I wonder what the odds of that are?

    You are a bad player. Improve your skill level and you will start to see more pocket aces.

    Karma sucks sometimes have you even paid back 1 point to any of your borrowers yet? Starting off on this site as a stiff is the wrong way to start pal.

    Exactly, If you're the short stack hold'in pocket AA's, just fuk'in fold! I guarantee you'll get rivered out by a guy hold'in pocket 22's! Pocket Aces don't mean shit with this rigged software, unless you see one on the flop, and even then you'll get knocked out by a straight or flush from a larger stack!

    On Poker Stars, there was not one day that I did not get Pocket Aces.

    You don't need aces to win/play.

    i just had aa at the casino last night in a 3-5 no limit game. someone raised to 20, got one call, and then i woke up in the small blinds with aa.
    i raised it to 500, my luck has been running so bad i wanted the easy $45 profit


    actually it was probably the right move mathematically anyway since the other 2 guys only had 200 or so in chips

    regardless of what you believe, if you have the means I suggest you try it... if you are interested as growing as a poker player it is a great way to advance.

    i know what you are saying i bluff very big sometimes. sometimes ill raise 3x the big blind holding 8-3 offsuit and then after the flop ill do it again, then raise all in. if someone calls with anything im out of the tournament but they have to have a great hand to call there
