Ace rag is the killer

I had a good week personally, but the start of this week has been the ace rag killer so far..lost kk, qq, 10, 99 today on some monster cash pots to ace rag.. man guys love to play the ace rag..i learn to not shove anymore with kk, just to see ace rag take me out..lol..ok i am done venting and got my 5 pts..if you feeling the ace rag blues post in this thread as well..:mad:

I am not very god at playin A rag after flop if ace comes LOL< so i stay away from those hands mostly, unless down to shorhanded in a tourneyyy then maybe i will try it ....

:-)) and you don't lost with aa?

Folding KK is never proftibale. Youve been getting unlucky but in the long run youll win. Ace rag still has around 30-35% equity against KK.

:-?KK IS THE BEST hand:-x

I've been there. A lot of players put too much strength on Ace rag. I lost a tournament with 1010 vs A6. And, they also call big bets with Ace rag, it doesn't make much sense.

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.

Its great when you got ace rag and your killing. Just not cool when its you. I feel u.

yes its tru KK u gotta b careful bet high preflop not allin but if ace on table better u be rdy to fold these gud luck.

I think they've just been watching the pros on TV too much.

MichMans fav hand is ace rag. He calls em ace raggers and doesnt like playing vs them. Just remember the ace rag beats KK 30% of the time. Brutal but reality.

every hand is a killer lol

Just lost with ace rag, lol

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!!

on merge you have to take into consideration that ace rag will beat an ace king the under dog is favored on that site

every card are killers

i just killed KK with ace3 tehehe = )
