Pocket Aces for the Rest of Your Life....

[somapopper]

I would happily play five minutes of holdem every day to pay for the necessities, like diamond encrusted boxer shorts and my hot tub full of benjamins.

I would then cry a single tear for holdem and play much more interesting games like 27td for the rest of my life.

[newhizzle]

yes, and if i can find people to play with me ill be a very rich man, even if it just means constanly stealing the blinds

Nobody would play with you for the rest of your life. So it sounds like negative EV

I'd want to shoot myself in the face if I got pocket A's for the rest of my life.

How about expanding the question.

All you get are pocket pairs, randomly selected from 22-AA.

Does this make it more appealing?

Much more appealing. You could probably play about 50 hands at a table without anyone getting too suspicious, because you could just fold any underpairs that don't hit a set. You'd probably have to fold 66-22 so you didn't look like too much of a fish. PP are my favorite hands but after a while it would get a little old. But if I had to choose between poker as a hobby or poker as a career, I'm gonna pick it as a career. It can fund other hobbies. (Think hookers)

so you're saying that instead of having a 2.87bb/100 i'm going to have a 2.87bb/hand?

i'll take it.

I would take it. Play 1 or 2 hours a day. Live a luxurious life.

It would (at first) make for some interesting strategy decisions -- I think I would end up playing like this.

Play high-stakes NL for a few orbits before changing table/account/site.

"bluff" limp/fold alot, just so that people don't get too supicous. Even mix it up with raising/folding on scary boards.

Essentially, wait till a big hand breaks out preflop and then get all your chips in the middle. Or play a big hand postflop when you are pretty sure you are ahead.

Essentially you would just wait for the very profitable hands to showdown your aces. Constantly winning small pots would actually be counter-productive, I fear.

[The Truth]

Are you serious. If you say no, I think you are selfish.

It would be awesome to play live and act surprised every single time at showdown, like "OH MY GOD POCKET ACES AGAIN!"

Also, play in only a thong so no one can accuse you of cheating. You'd make some people's heads at Commerce explode.
