Still ahead and winning but I do think these type of hands are remarkably common.Sometimes I am the winner sometimes the loser but happen soooo often.

good luck
As I said lots of time my j,10 all in hits qka against kk,qq so cannot say it is unfair in any particular way what so ever but does give the impression of being somewhat designed.
Just my opinion. Not sure playing an hour game every night I should see 5 FH,2 sets of quads and 17 flushes etc but then again maybe this does happen in live games too.
Maybe just sugguesting hands are built for action but this still gives no individual any particular advantage.
Tis area 51 after all.
As long as you know what to expect then proceed with caution.

You may assume that the only prize is first prize where as I am happy coming 3rd one day 5th the day after and 4th the following week etc. I may be totally wrong but I still believe there is mileage in making the money first and then adapting your strategy in the later stages. If I play every day for a fortnight and I am 10 quid up I am happy and have had fun.
Poker is fun and when you win it is so much more fun but i'm never gonna play any two cards the same way every time . I do find myself short stacked in the final stages quite often but with blinds so big I shall pick my spot. The blinds do not rule my decisions they may influence it.
We could just be different players where I try to win little and often, you win big and infrequent. I bet between wins though you could be burning some serious money whereas I am merely burning a far smaller amount that I am completely happy with. Surely we can accept that many people play differently and if I learnt one thing over the years its this... if I won last night and try to play exactly the same way the following night somehow I don't win.
So i'll mix it up and get burnt lots along the way but sometimes my approach pays of as i' sure yours does.
Your advice is absolutely sound but it's not for me at the moment. I do ok. Good luck on the tables.oink
waiting for premium hands inevitably doesn't work in the long run so we have to come up with something new.
remember the days when everyone fell for the old check raise. Practically useless now.
Any ways gl on the tables oink.
Genuinely thankyou for taking time to give me advice.
Sadly as long as I have children and a wife I feel our paths are unlikely to cross on the poker tables but if you ever play the 250 guarantee speed at 2145 and I am feeling flush feel free to come and take my chips of me. If you forget my name I will be the one limping in with 67 suited. Be lucky rock hope your profit continues to grow .
