AET Poker Games

I personally don't see anything wrong with the cards that are dealt. I don't know of anyone's brick and morter experience playing poker but as players we see a CONSIDERABLE percentage of more hands at the cyber table. One of the misconceptions of Texas Hold'Em is it's a five card game. It's not. It's a seven card game. Being willing to loosely call at the AET table is going to open yourself up for cards to beat you or for you to catch a hand giving the perception that something funny is going on.

If you saw the same number of hands at a casino it's in my opinion there's no difference. It's the loose calling that makes bad or suspect hands win. Last week I raised the pot before the flop 4 times the big blind with four people behind me. I had a/j. I flopped the ace with other paint on the board and I was called. On the turn a j comes giving me two pair. I bet again and was quickly called. The turn comes and its a five. I go all in and the other player turns over pocket fives. It happens. My point is that player shouldn't have been in the hand anyway with three bets and FOUR over cards on the board. I was dead to a set or a straight at that point. It happens. Again it's the loose play that contributes to this. Not some fix. We should just go on one night and just keep doing all ins preflop and just see the randomness of the hands that comes. I think al lot of people would be surprised what hands can win when you throw the danger of a bet out.

I'll use this example. Throw out the dominance of these hands in regards to the aces beating 2's and look at it purely mathematically. We are heads up. I have pocket 2's and you have pocket a's. We both go all in. Statistically I have the same chance of a two coming as you have of an ace coming. Now in reality the scales are tipped because of the a's being better for you to win the hand, but from an odds stand point we both have the same odds of hitting the "miracle card" for a set.

Loose calling is what breeds these hands to look wacky. Not a glitch in the program. Just my opinion.

But I have said it for YEARS in regards to that website, pokerstars.com....

To say those hands are dealt RANDOMLY....
Is just plain silly.....

Yup.
A person (not going to name names) on here...landed at least 7-8 pocket A's in one 4 person game that lasted only 15 mins or so. Sorry folks, that shit doesn't happen...not to mention his other super-ridiculous hands.

I'm still gonna play, because one day...once I'm out of that damned center seat...it'll be me! At which point, I'll admit that I was the "chosen one" that week!

You guys are silly.

Isn't this what's it's about anyway? Like most poker groups I've played with the tension is starting grow in this one a little. :?
