Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

No, I love it. No hand will win more, on average.

Perhaps you have some things to learn.
1) No one should hate AA. If you hate AA, you're simply a bad poker player, plain and simple.
2) When explaining a hand (especially if you want feedback), it's important to provide people with all of the necessary information such as # of players at the table, blinds, chipstacks, payout, images, etc, etc.
3) AA does lose. Players who beleive that it's some sort of unbeatable hand are destined to find out the truth the hard way. AA vs 22 is a 4:1 fav, therefore expected to lose ~20% of the time.
Better luck next time, welcome to the forum, but take these things into consideration.

sometimes you need to learn how to play hand like AA. getting all of ur money in preflop with Aces put you in great position, but does not mean you are going to win. Another thing is, you don't want to play til the river with aces... make a raise preflop, hope to be in a hand with 1 player, bet the flop and hope to take it down. I wouldn't want to give my opponents 5 cards if i didn't hit my set.

I've just looked at my stats.
In cash games I've had AA 73 times and won 93% of the time
In tournaments I've had AA 9 times and won 78% of the time.
That's just my stats from pokerstars

AA is only the best starting hand in poker, not the best hand, nothing nicer in poker then looking down a pocket pair AA. As with any hand position, opposition, strategy and luck all play a part. Give me AA any day.
