Message: [QUOTE="canbora, post: 6913019, member: 9538"] Here's the thing. I disagree. I come from the older School of it being a drawing hand and everyone saying things like this, it's a drawing hand and everyone over plays it.... I'm also learning, because I'm trying to be an older dog lewrning newer tricks.... Learning the new GTO thing where it's not only the top 10 it's basically in the top four according to the GTO chart. With all that being said I've done it both ways even recently with experiments. I'm here to say from my experience I fully agree with GTO. Because it's not even my opinion it's the results of what happened. But here's the thing you have to do it pre-flop in my opinion and my advice. You have to be aggressing, you have to take the play out of it meaning you have to go all in pre-flop. Ace King has any other two random cards we have dominated. And it has any pair up to and including Queens in serious trouble. Even kings, while lesser it's still very much in danger. The only hand that completely dominates it is aces. And even then of course, you're still alive, most especially if it's suited. And while I've heard about that million Dollar hand I don't know the circumstances. If you're extremely rich and a million dollars is nothing more than a common hand, one out of hundreds. Then it shouldn't matter to you and that's how you should be playing. The amount of money playing is irrelevant. A hand as a hand. The game has no memory or relevance as to how much money it's being played for. Doesn't matter if you're playing for popcorn and candy or if you're playing for a bazillion dollars. The deck is the deck, the the hand is the hand, and the game is the game. Also I found in my experiments I would rather have ace king and pair the board versus an over pair because you're taking up a card and you're providing blockers. When you have a pair that's all you have. And you have lower odds to improve. So if anything, I think having over pairs is overrated from my experience, most especially in cash games. When you're in tournaments and your short stacked, obviously it's a godsend. And if you get cracked you get cracked. But more than likely you'll get heads up and you'll double up. Like stu Unger said, aces is for winning small pots and losing big ones. [/QUOTE]
