Default Re: Favorite hand to crack aces

I'll tell you what hand is not my favorite...AT.

Last night, 7 people left at 3-table tourney. All-in on pre-flop raiser with AA. He shows AT, ten is one of my suits. He rivers the straight. 93 per cent to win and I don't.

For as bad as 42 and the rest sound, they have a better chance than AT. (A9o is the worst I could find)

The most money I ever lost on a hand was when a guy when runner runner bicycle with 42s to beat my (now second nut) set of aces.

I played a guy headsup who would push to any raise. Luckily I get AA, so I minraise. He pushes like clockwork, I yell suck it bitch (it was online) and call. He tables 84o and the flop is K44. I'm waiting for him to post in this thread so I can track him down and firebomb his house. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Wait, you actually yelled out "suck it bitch"???

You wouldn't happen to play 3 tables on 3 separate computers?

No, but what a great idea. Hmmm. So you have the 3 tables, AND you have the 3 monitors. Suhweet.

Regarding suck it bitch, I was very annoyed with his push every hand strategy, especially given my constant stream of 92, T4, J3, etc. When you are begging for even a mediocre hand to snap this tard off, and you get the glorious AA, and you know exactly what to do to get all his $$ in, it's a good feeling.

I had KK. Betting capped pf and on the flop with 3-players. K comes on the turn. Showdown shows that both other players had AA.

That was fun.

[img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Yeah well, if you have $500 sitting in front of you, make it $15 to go preflop, and I know you just can't lay down that high pair, I will glady see a flop with any two random cards. I'll be more than happy to sit at your table and have you walk away wondering what the hell just happened to all your chips. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think you missed the essence of the OPs post.

I believe he meant the hands that give you the most warm and fuzzy feeling when you happen to crack someones aces.

I think stokken understood the OP completely. And I happen to agree with him completely.

By the simple fact that the college kid made the original, <font color="white">idiotic, pointless </font> post, I think I would love have him sitting at my table.


Think about it this way: When asked, "What's your favourite hand?", anyone who answers anything different than AA is biased by their own irrational, susperstious beliefs.
