Aces are overrated in omaha

They sure suck don't they! This covers a 6 month period.
I've split my hands up into pocket pairs, so KK99 would only come in the KK section. Hands like AAA3 are not included, only pocket pairs. These figures are just for Omaha hi.

The pocket tens thing probably wasn't helped by this hand...

I see why it's fairly easy to put you on aces.

My figures for pocket 6s went down today.

ORLY?
I've been dealt AA 3000 times out of 120,000 hands which I raised around 2100 of them. My stats for raising preflop 9 handed are 9% of all hands, so that's 10800 hands. So if I raise preflop, I have AA 20% of the time.
Care to explain how it's easy to put me on AA?

Why do you only have a 98% VP$IP with the PF nutz?

I'm going to say...realizing the inherent danger in PF raising AAxx from the BB, then getting a flop that makes AAxx turn to [censored].

Aye, it's safe to say 9 handed, 11% of the time I get AA, it is in the big blind. So my raise preflop with AA from the big blind would be around 80% (when nobody has raised preflop).

PFR% It looks like the majority raising is done with AA and KK (at least vs other a pairs).

Did you just fail to read ANYTHING I just said? Go back, read it, then get back to me.

Oh I read what you wrote.

So you raise preflop in 7th position, someone on button calls.

Which flop is button most afraid of?

A92
J62
942

Once you search deep into your soul, you'll realize that proper application of game theory toward playing poker will dictate that you raise less frequently with AA and more often with other pairs to randomize your play. Sure you will have to play more after the flop, but you are a good enough player to beat people on the flop and turn.
