what is peoples obsession with ace 10

It happens a lot. I'd just get used to it. Or play for 10 billion dollars and see if they go all in...

Did you account for the fact that it may be suited?

Just play more. The fact that people are calling you with worse hands when you have KK is great. Variance will even out eventually and if you're a good player you'll win.

You will win more longterm.

Also it REALLY depends on your limits that you are playing. If the limits are below $1/2, then that is an OK call by them. There are alot of players who will play crazy at the lower limits since it doesnt really matter

I encourage people to overplay A10. Would you rather them fold?

u have kk. there are only 2kings left in the deck. there are 3 Aces total left in the deck for him. aces are higher cards than kings as well...when we look at this closer:

aces > kings

3 (amount of aces left) > 2 (amount of kings left)

I dont see how you actually thought you were ahead and that you could win.

This x1000 don't you know basic strategy guys?

Being the nice guy that I am I'll shoot some $ to anyone who will take AT vs. my KK. I'm a sucker for punishment. Must run 1,000,000 times because im sado.

connectable piece of the biggest possible straight...often top pair on the board even if you only hit your ten....not a bad kicker for the ace...then suited- not sure what gambler wouldnt call that for cheap enough.

A 10?---they're just low level players or people with a lot of money

A10 is obviously garbage for all-in, in a normal ring game. You shouldn't complain about stuff like this happening because with skill and proper understanding of the game, you will realize that this is how you make money. Never think about how much you lose on a hand, instead think of how much you win on a hand. If you were to play that hand the exact same way a million times, you will win very close to the percentage your odds are. Figure out the percentage of time you win the hand and the size of the pot, then figure out how much money you make each time by playing that hand the same way. If you win $10 from your opponent 70% of the time and lose $10 30% of time. Then you are making $4 every time you play this hand like that. Obviously the numbers will be slightly different, but making this much of a profit over the course of many hands puts you at a huge advantage over your opponents. Also note that if everyone were to play "proper poker", the only winner would be the house.

I am 'obsessed' with J10, I never fold that hand

whatsgood5 · 02-21-10, 01:39 PM

If it's suited, I love it. But I can fold it when neccesary.

Unfortunately with the fame of poker risen on TV, players are bound to call your all in with almost any Ace / x in his/her hand. Most uneducated players ( without formal training i.e. books / tutors ) call or shove because the Ace is the most powerful card in the deck and furthermore makes them " Feel Good " to say the phrase. Fact undeniable, you must learn to cope with the idiots for if you intend to continue playing Poker, you shall encounter more and more of them for years to come. Sorry.

Ace 10 is horrrible for me almost,if someone moves all in,I'd think for 10 seconds whether to call or not
