Default Re: Help me out: Black AA face up?

yes, against 5 random hands AA is less than 50% to win. (see CSC's post where AA vs 4 random hands is 52%). but when you win, you win a lot more, and without doing the math because CSC already did it, it's worth it.

suppose you could play a lottery with an 80% chance of winning for $5 or a 40% chance of winning for $5,000. take your gamble and hope for the best.


as a seperate issue that i can't believe no one else has brought up, flipping your cards up with players left to act is illegal. your hand will be ruled dead (folded) by any competent dealer in a serious game, although i don't know how your bar would deal with it.
