STOP OVERPLAYING POCKET PAIRS AND WHINING WHEN YOU LOSE WITH THEM!1!!1

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!



PokerStars Game Hold'em No Limit ($1/$2) - 2007/07/23
Table 'Botein III' 6-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 3: fafnir86 ($200 in chips)
Seat 5: Hero ($200 in chips)
fafnir86: posts small blind $1
Hero: posts big blind $2
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Jc Jh]
fafnir86: raises $198 to $200 and is all-in
Hero said, "wowowowowowowowowowwo"
xflixx said, "LOL"
xflixx said, "LOOOOOOOOOL"
Hero said, "i has jacks"
DonPokerKing said, "no limit 1/2 ?WTF?"
xflixx said, "ICANT BELIEVE THIS"
Hero said, "jacksssssssssssssssssssssss"
xflixx said, "DONT DO IT"
Hero said, "omg"
xflixx said, "dont"
xflixx said, "dont"
Hero said, "fafnit, lower pp?"
xflixx said, "just fold and sit out"
DonPokerKing said, "this is pretty sick right here"
xflixx said, "we wont do this"
xflixx said, "this is sick"
Hero: folds
xflixx said, "i'm leaving"
Hero said, "call with jacks?"
fafnir86 collected $4 from pot
fafnir86: shows [4d 7h] (high card Seven)

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

Worth reading, trust me.

this was the first thread I viewed when I came to BBV.

needless to say, I was confused and strangely aroused.
