Default Re: Are we calling down too much?

Everything in poker is situational, there isn't one rule for any hand than can be used in every situation. Big pairs with lots of callers loose their chances of winning.

I also think he still has a decent point, I looked in poker tracker and I have had KK 8 times and won 75 percent with them. I have had KQ offsuit 27 times and won only 25 percent with it. Half the reason for that is I played them like a donk and the other is a bit of bad luck but over time the stats will even out.

I see you point about having a big pocket pair, they can be over taken by hands that improve after the flop, this is why we raise it up as much as possible to chase everyone out. If are raises don't accomplish this then we have to be careful.

I say keep the faith with the cowboys (KK) and they will reward you in the end. I also say if its a board with flushes and straights then its okay to fold em.

I wonder what the statistical difference is on winning with a pair of aces over kings.
