Default Re: Most profitable hand?

Proud to give the only serious response to this thread!!

My most profitable hand after 1000 $55+5 Stars turbos is:

AKo with +165,873 after 423 deals
AA had +130,255 after 201 deals (least of all pairs)

Um... doesn't that mean AA is more profitable? We're interested in gain per time it's dealt not overall gain.

To put it another way, you'd prefer to be dealt AA than AKo.

I stopped reading this thread right here. You are retarded. I hope to see you at my table.

P.S. How many times have you seen 5 people go all in before you at a Step 5 higher?

P.P.S. This thread isn't that bad, because I can see how in certain situations other hands, MIGHT be more profitable (e.g. people are more likely to call your pf raise with an A, and thus having AA reduces pf callers), but still, [ QUOTE ]
this thread is retarded

Level 1-4/5 I seriously doubt your getting my entire stack with AA but if you have AA I just may get yours.

You're wrong here. AA can quite often get the entire stacks of hands like AK or QQ or hands that hit top pair. Add to that the number of times that you win decent sized(but not entire stacks) pots with it, and its easily the most profitable hand.

Think about it this way...if another hand was really more profitable then you'd rather have that other hand. Would you really rather have another hand than AA?
