Well, that's part of my problem: KK is not a big winner for me. I've played a total of ~5k hands. It's a pittance, I know... I'm a complete newb, which is why I'm posting these <sometimes stupid> questions and exposing myself to the heavy artillery fire of the more experienced, and sometimes merciless, posters [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyhow, out of those 5K, my top winners are:

AQ won 54% for 42BB
QQ won 72% for 35BB
AQs won 64% for 31BB
then wayyyyy down the list
AK won 45% for 6BB ( to be fair, the BB should be higher here, but I misplayed some of the hands...)
KK won 44% for 2BB (most of these losses came within the last 2K hands)

I mean, I've won with Q5s out of the BB (62%) more often that KK. So that's what I've been trying to reconcile.

But from what I gather, the answer is not in folding big hands just because they've been losing for you in the past. I can understand that. It just seemed like sound reasoning to say "well, this has lost for me a lot before, and this action is pretty heavy, so it'll probably lose again". I need to quit thinking that way. Question now is, how do you make yourself quit thinking that way? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
