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

Seems to be a lot of mathematically inept here not getting the over cards are favourites concept.

Let me lay it down so simply even an idiot will get it.

AK vs. QQ

Instead of drawing 5 cards I'm going to draw the entire deck and both players choose their best 5 cards.

QQ gets quads

AK gets quad aces if unsuited, and often a royal flush (depending on the queen suits) if suited.

Now I what the "morans" are thinking.

Over time, won't we draw them all?

Debate over.

Genius. I must humbly bow to your prowess for explanation of what should have been a simple concept for everyone.

Thanks, appreciate the kind words.

I thought Id drive the point home with a testimonial from a real life friend of mine who has learned to apply this knowledge.
