Rubbish hands winning pots - are they on the increase

Have you noticed that when you have the best hand pre flop ie pocket AA or KK large pairs etc that somebody calling or raising with loosely related cards nearly always manage to find a straight/flush/full house on the river. I takes a severe shove to get me tilting but ................

Fact is, you'll probably lose more often than not with AA v 56 (for example) if there's aggressive betting down the streets and you haven't improved, because most people playing these hands aren't doing it with the hope of hitting 2nd pair and getting all their money in.

People play these hands to hit 2pr, trips, straights, flushes etc so a lot of the time if the board is 5QJ82 and it's AA v 56, you probably won't even know they had 56 cos they'll have folded before the end (mostly) whereas when the board is 5Q582, then you'll know about it, so more often you will see the  hand 56 winning, but that's cos the more common event (AA winning) you won't see their cards.

Obv AA is always a massive favourite over 56
