I'm sick and tired of this "OMG I GOT BAD BEAT, I HAD A POCKET PAIR AND ALL YOU HAD WAS OVERCARDS!"

Preflop, a pocket pair only has 2 outs to improve,overcards have 6! (This is not even taking into account straight and flush draws!) That means overcards are at least a 3:1 favorite to improve and win the hand. So stop whining morans.

I took me actually several months to internalize OPs theorem, but finally I became a winning player!

I mean, he might have a lower PP, but if we do the math, chances are too big, that we are facing unpaired holecards here!
I'm so glad about my fold when I saw his random 47off.

FOLD YOUR PPs very frequently!! ty
