Would you play poker if...

[SpiderMnkE]

You were dealt AA every hand.

Yes, ok.

What is the worst hand you would play poker with if you got dealt the same hand every time?

[Sponger15SB]

KK

[SpiderMnkE]

That is a bit steep.

Certainly being guaranteed a profitable hand every hand would be better than folding a lot of junk and waiting for something profitable.

There must be some minimum hand out there that however marginally profitable, if dealt to you every hand would be slightly more profitable than the random distribution.

do the other players magically forget that im getting the same hand every time?

[SpiderMnkE]

you'd be pretty screwed if they didn't.. unless you had AA or KK. So yeah, they are very unobservant.

I would certainly play QQ every time, and even the fishiest of all fish could turn a tidy profit if they were dealt as low as 88 every hand. The lowest I'd play would probably be J10 suited or some such hand that's near 0 EV from EP and gains a lot of +EV in later positions

[SpiderMnkE]

You might even be screwed if you had KK every hand and they knew it.

Bandleader: Welcome to T. G. I. McScratchy's where it's constantly New Year's Eve. Here we go again! Three, two, one!

Everyone: Happy new year!

Marge: It must be wonderful to ring in the new year over and over and over.

Waiter: Please, kill me.

[bwana devil]

that's actually an interesting question.

i would definitely play JTs and 88.

i may go lower, but would have to think about it more. if i'd go lower than 88, id probably be willing to take any pocket pair. even 22.

[fluff]

Assuming the other players forget every hand, then you can go fairly low. Definitely down to 88, A9s, KJo.
