STOP OVERPLAYING POCKET PAIRS AND WHINING WHEN YOU LOSE WITH THEM!1!!1

[Mr Rick]

Wow glad this got bumped. I laughed as hard as I can remember from reading posts. Highlights for me were the KQ vs. AA overcards odds discussion, the guy who said he wasted two minutes of his life reading this (an Evelyn Woods graduate perhaps?) and the broken sarcasm detector.

I actually think this thread will help my game. Whenever people get mad at me when I win a hand for the way I play it, I usually say "I am not very good." Now I can back it up with my newly adopted theory on overcards being 3 times better than pocket pairs not even counting their straight potential. But what was most important was how many people responded about the correct % that overpairs should have. I am looking forward to at least 2 or 3 players at the table earnestly trying to correct me and maybe 1 or 2 surrepticiously trying to get them to be quiet. Life inside the aquarium should be fun.
