someone with AJ/AQ/KQ even a suited connector has so many damn outs to bust me it's not worth the risk.
2 outs vs 20, which would you rather be?
i've seen aces go down to two pair, straights, and flushes all the time.. pocket rockets are ONLY effective in smaller games. a 10 player tourney will get you some callers, especially if people get married to hands... because we all know that those are the ones that get lucky the most.

This is why poker can still be profitable, when people think like this.
