Default \"Most of your profit will come from AA & KK\"

That is a quote from a friend of mine, a pro player who plays 400NL on several sites.

I had said in a differant on-line poker forum (yes, there are OTHER on-line poker forums) that, with normal size stacks, 50% of a FR NL players profit will come from AA & KK. The other 50% will come from set farming.

My friend the pro said, "No, most of your profit comes from AA & KK. Set farming makes up, at most, 40%."

I was wondering what you guys had to say on this. Or rather, what your stats had to say. Does AA & KK really make up such a large fraction of non-short stack's total profit?

According to my PT stats, which are mostly at 50 nl and 100nl, I am up about $2,100 with AA and KK, overall I am up $1,400 over my last 40,000 hands.

Do other people's PT stats have similar stats?

those figures are similar to mine. I would be a losing player without AA, and i think that very few winners would be winners without AA and KK (and definatly without QQ too).

Had a -700 swing at 200NL...was down 300 with AA in that period..if you change that to +300, that is a 600 dollar swing..

Same here. Had i folded AA every time preflop, i'd be a losing player over some 6000 hands in April.

This is my NL database of 15k hands.

Total won playing 10NL or lower is $87.
AA/KK = $67.00

If you follow my posts at all, you'd know that my PT sample size is only slightly larger than my post count.
