I think I over value pocket pairs (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

Seven bad run-outs in 6 months of play is not particularly noteworthy to be honest.

The problem is when people get the money in good, they round up their chances of winning to 100% and get frustrated that isn't how it works. Being a 70% favorite is common with pocket pairs and that means losing about 30% of the time.

Yes! I think we’ve discussed this before, but Bart Hanson mentioned it again this week - you have to remember that when you’re a 70% favorite with a big pocket pair that holds, you’re not winning “what you were supposed to win,” you’re actually winning 30% MORE than expectation.
That said, play those pocket pairs! As Negreanu loves to say, it’s tough to make a pair.

I BROKE THE CURSE

Yesterday:

, two others go all in preF, action gets to me, I shove as well……. I hit quads!

Another:
I limped …. Flopped another , villain hit , he raises big, I “tank”, and call….. Trap set, turn comes, villain has big slick, bets BIG again, I “regretted my call” - river, brick, he packs another $20 in, I call again (playing nice poker, I knew I trapped him in a hole of fuck) and I called. My pocket rockets have had a successful mission to planet value.

Last one, I have cowboys, limped them again, lots of action on the table, I call it all each time it gets to me, I flop another for 3 Kings of power, won a big pot there too.

I felt great again, no more pocket pairs deaths…. Lady Luck was with my yesterday

@Josh Kifer card capper must have done it, that thing is lucky…!

While it's cool you won the hands, the preflop is kind of meh

Holding QQ last night. Bohemian Rhapsody comes up on the Spotify list. Flop is something totally undangerous like 2 7 J rainbow. I figured it must be a sign from God. I jam.

Into AA. Rebuy!

Your cards were screaming “LET ME GO!”

But you thought, “Bismillah! We will not let you go.”

Regarding JJ, the video below will help you. You’re welcome.

I never get tired of watching this video.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" and "Unfuckingbelievable." I say those phrases in my head now whenever I look down at JJ knowing what's coming.

I live by two rules, always fold JJ unless you can see a free flop, and always jam 99, you'll eventually get there.

Run those hands against each other 100 times and see who’s broke at the end. Open invite to my game anytime.

Baalzebub had a devil put aside for me, for sure.
