You miss the point entirely VA Poker. I didn't go into details about the betting patterns for the big PP hands - some were people all-in before the flop with their holdings - what are you going to do then, fold pocket Aces to an all-in bet before the flop?

The fact is, whether or not you ever fold a big PP like Aces(and I do, on occasions) if you were to see them out, come what may, to the river, they should still win 82% of the time against any other holding when you are heads-up.

Statistically, over several months and thousands of hands, that is not happening.

We should all expect suck-outs against a better hand, but those suck-outs should, over time, be representative of the odds of that happening. On this site that doesn't seem to happen.

Finally, in the final example of pocket kings, my read, and my play was correct - that I was ahead and I needed to raise a significant amount to take the odds away from the opponent with his drawing hand. I did that twice - on the flop and on the turn. He stayed with me both times against the odds and gets rewarded for it.

Now that can happen, but over time, playing that hand identically, I should get rewarded for the opponent playing the wrong side of the odds. I played like that for several years at the Bike and got paid off for it. Play that way at Full Tilt and you don't. Something stinks!
