Contrary to popular belief aces don't win 100% of time.
better luck next time

ttwarrior1 where do you think the money you make comes from in poker?

[ttwarrior1]

huh? Im no rookie, no need to post that aces dont win, just saying kq isnt an all in hand

[OmgUrMom]

I really don't know the rest lol....You had Ax Ax and he had KQ and flop was AKQ and you lost this hand? So he either hit runner kings or queens for quads? if so quite sick....I guess he could of also possibly flopped 3 to a flush....

You should be on your hands and knees thanking that guy and doing everything in your power to play with him at every opportunity. It's a simple concept that i hope even rookies would get.

i did not last more than 4 hands
sick deks

[B1GER1C828]

flop was a k q, u had pocket aces...so they got running q's or kings?

Honestly risking all your chips on first hand with anything isn't a pro play.

Going all-in with AA preflop the first hand of a tournament is a lay-up. Like in basketball, sometimes lay-ups miss, but it's still an opportunity you can't pass up. I seriously doubt that any pro who has been at it for a non-trivial length of time would fold in that spot.

80-85% isn't a sure thing ever......

80-85% isn't a sure thing ever......

what's your point? A true professional will take an all-in with a 60% chance of winning on the first hand every time. Online anything over 50% should be an all-in, you can easily register for another tourney that will start soon if you bust this one. I could see a pro passing up a low 50% chance in a live tourney since the players might be terrible and there won't be another tourney starting again soon.....

This is quite wrong. A true professional is not going to put his tournament life on the line just because he's over 50%. Late stages of a tournament with huge blinds maybe but definitely not early on. A true professional is going to wait until the odds are clearly in his favor or if he thinks he can bluff someone off a hand before he pushes all his chips into a pot.

No pro is going to put his life on the line with 55 against AQ just because he's favored unless he has to.

1. There was a poker in game thread. How did this get its own thread?

2. I think its safe to say OP doesn't even know what came next on the turn and river.

3. This is a freeroll, noone is going to play it like a $10k buyin or even a $10 buyin.

4. I don't think am sure excel knows nothing about poker.

[oiler]

well said poker dummy,everthing u said is so true.

[B1GER1C828]

lol @ risking all chips wit aa preflop...i might not do it if theres like 7 people are all in(happens once every 1.5 billion hands) tho for 1st hand.

[blueghost]

[korbal29]
