AA v. Random Hand. Which would you rather play?

[LinusKS]

Suppose someone invited you to play the following game: one player gets AA every hand, the other gets a random hand.

The aces are dealt face-up, the other hand is dealt face-down.

The game is no-limit, and the stacks are deep - say, 100x the big blind.

Which side would you rather play?

To make this question remotely reasonable, you have to impose some sort of artificial limit on the amount AA can raise preflop.

[LinusKS]

Yes. You're right.

Betting would have to start after the flop.

Uhhhhh, what about blind structure? No blinds?

The hypothetical is still retarded. Why do people insist on spending their time thinking about why AA might suck? This just in: it doesn't.

I'll take a random hand over AA any day. But then again, as you know Linus, I AM RETARDED.

Geez. I thought you and I made fun of posts like this.

[LinusKS]

You are not retarded.

U R BORDERLINE.

AA, and I'm all in pre flop. Shouldn't take me long to bust you(less than 150 hands).

If you're turning the aces face up, I do believe the FOP says they're guaranteed to lose.

No, just that you won't win as much.

That's only if the cards even out in the long-run. I'll gladly play you heads-up 7-card stud where I start with (AA)A face up and you get a face down random hand.
