Ace rag is the killer

[MichMan]

If I had a nickel for evertime an A-rag donked me when a decent player woulda mucked it... well, prolly I could buy into the WSOP main event. It can be attributed to the WPT, the final table is 6 handed and people see them playing it boldly and don't realize that on a full table its different. There is a time to play it, but a lot of those who do think its all the time. Just one of the downsides to mainstream online poker. I remember the good old days like 10 yrs ago, when maybe once a week the Aragger would donk on ya, but now its every day several times in a lot of cases. Just make a note and move on is all we can do.

Totally agree, I very seldom play A/R if ever,,,but do get burnt quite often,,,, shame ,,, but fish that play them and win,,, will never be good or even average poker players.

You are EXACTLY right on!!! When i was playing on pokeroom and party before the first ban, it seemd ALOT more random then things are now.. and NO ace rag is not 30% against KK. Its 8.26% to win and 2.6% to tie. look it up on a calculator. Mich its cause 10 years ago there was no greed by the sites as it is now and plus there was no fear of the DOJ and they didnt need to keep rewarding dumazzes to stay in business. Now they do. If you get rid of the idiots thats getting lucky all the time there wouldnt be but maybe 30% of the players that play now still playing, sad fact but true!!
