More specifically, what you will do is lose some large pots to them occasionally when they get lucky and hit - plus some times where you think they have A3, but in fact, they have AA or some other strong hand - but over the long run, you take MUCH more money from them than they take from you.

Is this still true if 60% of the field plays the same way (to the river with any weak Ace)?

The more the merrier. That just means you'll be paid off even more when your hand holds up.

It just happened too many times today (6 times in a row) so I couldn't help but tilting.

I'm calm now though but damn, I threw stuff around the room.

It's important to remember two things while tilting:

1) Make sure you break whatever you're throwing, as this add 10x the satisfaction of throwing say, a plastic bottle and just having it bounce off the wall.
2) Don't throw anything that you don't want to break. Many, many times I've broken something I needed or that was important. When playing playsation I used to break so many controllers that I would go through one a week until I just kept some of my old ones close at hand whenever I played to use for venting.
3) Don't throw something you want to break at something you don't want to break.
4)I don't know how to count![img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Default this may help:

go to two dimes and run some simulations of the hands that frustrate you- you'll see that you have much more equity in those pots and you'll hopefully be more confidant and aggressive with your big pairs as a result. this is a very usefull tool in general.

Appreciate your linkage to two dimes! It seems to permit evaluating situations not covered by PokerStove...

I find the opposite to be true. Other than non hold 'em games, what is an example?

Twodimes is very nice, but has no support for hand ranges which is the only thing I find it useful to simulate against since you can't know your opponent's hand for sure.

The number of pots you win will go down, but the size of the pots you win should go up.
