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

[skitzo444]

Would you want pocket AA for the rest of your life. Would you want that yes/no and reasons.

I think it would be good if I wanted to make money but there would be no thrill to the game anymore.

also, you would get tossed from every game you ever played, so it would be a short lived experience.

anyway, to answer your hypothetical, i would be happy taking the infinite money and using it to fund other exciting things, without the need to budget, etc. but then again, maybe i wouldn't enjoy ANYTHING if i had infinite resources. maybe part of the fun of everything we do is that we know we earned the right to do with hard work anyway.

i turn down your offer. i'm happy with my life as it is. i wouldn't risk it. thanks for asking though.

Always having AA might be interesting and fun for a while, but without the gambling aspect of the game, the tactics, etc., I think I'd take up full-time fishing. From a pier. With a cane pole. And worms. And after a day of this I'd jump off the pier. BTW, I can't swim.

I think the more interesting question is how you would play the aces.

Personally, I'd limp about 35% of the time and then fold on all remotely scary boards.. and of course, raise 10% of the time and usually try to pick up the pot on the flop or the turn without a showdown.

I think people would still catch on pretty quickly. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would just jump from online NL table to online NL table.

Or I would join a massive MTT and just push all in everyhand. What are they gonna do about it? Even if I do get called and lose I'm still gonna have an M of 100+ after all the early all ins I'm gonna win.

You would HAVE to push all-in preflop on every hand, because if everybody knows you have aces, they can call with any two, and then push every flop where pocket aces doesn't flop the nuts. Of course, if you win enough early that calling these post-flop all-ins won't cripple you, you'd probably call anyway.

Stolen from Matt Matros book... a theory by Chris Ferguson I believe.

If your trying "not to be caught"...you can always FOLD, lol.

As for aces every hand of my life....I'd say no. It would take away practically every reason I play and love this game.

This question makes no sense without context.

If everyone forgot that I had pocket AA immediately after every hand, would I want pocket AA every hand? Hell yeah. It might make for boring poker (although there are a variety of things that can still happen in a hand), but I'd get my excitement in other ways (mainly the luxury suites at the top Vegas casinos).

But if anyone knew I was continually getting pocket AA, that would suck, because the games would dry up, as in I would sit down at a table and everyone else would get up, and I'd be kicked off the site or out of the casino.

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.

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
