Call everything and you will always win

This is what I have learned in the last 24 hours in my 9 buy in drop. No matter what you have, just keep calling because whatever 2,3 or 4 outer u need, it will come.

I know this because it keeps happening to me. I'm running under 40% W$SD and am in the red on AA, KK, AKs, AKo, QQ, JJ and almost all of my other pairs.

I'd post a graph, but just imagine a pretty steady 80 degree drop for 3000 hands. [censored] Absolute Poker I've never seen more rediculous play rewarded.

Examples follow.

Example 1: Q7 will always beat a Preflop raised hand when it makes top pair, because it always makes 2 pair by the river:

Example 3: You have a small pair, and call a PFR. Then two overcards flop, but you have a gutshot. Just call, you'll turn it. No matter that it gives hero a redraw because it won't come in.
