Your comment that you win 75% of sessions on line proves right off the bat that you don't understand what it means to win at poker.

Just because the number of times AA loses vs 9 people doesn't mean it loses value.

I have never understood this argument about big pairs going down in value. Small pairs go up in value because of set value? Aces don't have set value?

As you say, obviously you are going to get your aces cracked more often against 7 callers than against 1. But when you don't get cracked, you are going to take down some huge pots. And KK has a lot more showdown value than 66.

Big pairs do lose a lot of value in multiway pots if you play them as if you were heads up, however.

Because AA will never flop anything but top set and chances are people won't bet or raise with middle pair whereas 66 on an AK6 board = hella mad bets

OP,

You need to move to Vegas or AC so you can move up to a level where people will respect your raises!

The 30-60 game at the Bellagio last week when I was there was exactly like this 2-2 game. I don't think limits matter.

After two minutes in the game I realized it was going to be crazy and I played accordingly. That includes strapping on the seat belt to prepare for major swings.

This would seem like a unique situation except for the fact that THERE'S A WHOLE FREAKING FORUM DEVOTED TO IT.

Hi!

You don't know the game. You don't know how to play Holdem.

Read SSHE, get some more poker under your belt and check back in six months. And make sure to bookmark this post, so you can re-read it and shake your head at how foolish you once were.

my post clearly states that i HAVE read SSHE (Small Stakes Hole'Em). Why am i so foolish? I am intrigued and interested to find out holes in my playing abilities. You assert this with out providing reasons to support your statement.

The way I read your post and the subject is "I'm about to stop playing poker" and you want to quit.

[strde635]

I did read it. My post above even says that. Many of you criticize me, but offer no help to improve my game.
