I could actually believe there are people dumb enough to somehow reason AKs is better than AA.

But I do believe he is trolling there.
I think he was saying you needed to four flush with AA to win, because the aces wouldn't hold up on their own and you needed to improve to a lfush to win.

Yeah, I re-read it I think you are right about that.

Wow, he may actually be serious.

That does sound like exactly the kind of weird flawed logic/math that not very intelligent fish come up with in poker.

I once had a buddy who would swear that KQs was better than AA or AK. He claimed that it hit better and he could never go broke with it.

Than again he is the same guy who while watching me play online poker was surprised when I mucked an Ace of spades and some off suited rag preflop. He than told me that I was dumb because Spades hit more often than any other suit (I realized after I stopped chuckling that he was not joking which made me just fall over laughing).

Come to think of it while playing on the ship (navy) the board read 44A44 and the first player to act shoves all in, the next guy insta called and then after tanking he folded saying he must be out kicked. Later that night he was asking me what the exchange rate in Hawaii was.

So this Facebook guy could be the real thing

In my opinion his very last post confirms he was trolling.


Edit: in the 67% thing, not the AKs v AA

I am proud to report that I have been banned from the Facebook poker forum for threatening to shoot Scotty Nguyen and will therefore be unable to post any future gems.

the AA vs AK is clearly trolling and anyone who thinks he is serious is a moron

Uh... have you actually read this thread sir.

That's exactly the kind of absurd logic fish come up with.

Very easily not a troll.

It sounds profitable. easy to play postflop, but not optimal. Hes folding any pair to pressure.

Im on a short 1/2 4 handed with one on break. House is kind enough to give us $1 rake +1 promo drop. I win 70 doing a table draw vs 3 others because of something in the football game, it was a football related promo. A guy who has been playing chess on his phone and talking fantasy sports all night starts complaining about too many blinds.
The blinds are coming too often? He will be blinded out because he wins no hands. He did win one and then stayed quiet until another player left. I love short tables with almost no rake so I wanted to continue. Then he broke the table and just moved without drawing for a seat even though there werent enough seats available?

Saipan, near Guam. They actually just opened a casino there.

Woman has a 2BB stack at final table of a tournament. Action is folded to her, she folds. After the hand, tells her husband, "I had an Ace but I didn't like my kicker."

$1-$2 NL at Cincinnati Horseshoe on a Tuesday afternoon.

Limped 4-way pot sees a AA2 flop with two spades. First to act bets $10, and he gets 1 caller.

Turn is another deuce. Bet $20, call $20, so pot is about $60 to the river.

River 7 of spades.

First to act bets $75.

Next guy tanks before saying, "I'm not paying off your quads" and open folding an ace.

I love the super tight folds. I was in the BB once in a tourney when action folds around to SB. He limps. I have AKo and raise it. He folds 99 face up, I turn over my AKo and he says "I knew you had me beat."

Another situation is when I was on the button in a tourney, and getting short. It was the last hand before the break I have 22 and my plan is to open and go with it if I see any resistance PF. I get min raised by the BB, and I ship it. He folds QQ face up after tanking for a bit saying "He just has to have Kings or Aces."

He came up to me during the break and I eased his mind letting him know I had Kings.

The Gus Hansen theory. Always open raise last hand before the break because nobody wants to go broke before the break.

We are at the bubble, I have pocket queens. I raise to put the short stack all-in and short stack calls. One caller behind him, three of us in the hand. The flop comes up, 447, first to act practically jumps out of his seat and shouts "ALL-IN", I fold my great pocket pair thinking this guy has a set or better.
The two players flip their cards over, the short stack wins the hand and remains in the game. The guy who shouted all-in had nothing.
The forth player at the table asked "Why did you do that on the bubble when you had nothing?" He responds "I wanted to win the side pot."

There was no side pot, and he did not have a winning hand.

The short stack was back in the game, the bubble wasn't broken. A few hands after that the player that was short stack takes the other guy out.

This happened at a live $60 NLHE MTT. Chips stacks are pretty irrelevant.

Guy 1: Open to 4 or 5x BB in MP, pretty standard.

Fold around.

Guy 2: Calls from the cut-off.

Both blinds fold.

Board comes K-9-4 rainbow.

Guy 1: C Bets about half of the pot.

Guy 2: Thinks for like 30 seconds, says "then folds J-7o face up like he made some sort of hero fold and says "I think you got it."

Guy one shows AQs.

Guy 2 says "I knew it, AQ was the only hand that had me beat." I actually think one or two people nodded in agreement.

I sort of look down and think about what was just said, and sort of say to nobody in particular "What about Ace duece?"

A guy next to me sort of looks puzzled, so I said "or Ace Three."

Then this big dude across the table chuckles real loud and says, "or 'Queen Duece."

Then another guy catches on and says "or any 4."

Guy 2 looked sort of puzzled, then embarrased, and says "Yeah, I haven't really warmed up yet."

He went out before the next round.

From the other night, said by a guy between his 6th and 7th buy-ins after a hand was concluded:

The flop had been 8s9s9c

"I had to call on the flop because I had the straight flush draw" as he folded his 7sJh

We all nodded... uh huh.. you had to...
