Default Won with pocket rockets

yesterday I won with pocket rockets , but sometimes people are loosing with it..

I dont think its the best hand you can get, i think its AK, because you have the highest 2 cards and can get the highest things with it.. if you have AA , you almost need always another A to win it. because the other one has straight,.,. flush,... 2 pairs... its almost always better..

What do you think? Rockets (AA) are the best?

laughs that you got 217 point credits for that post.

To answer your question, it's absurd. Of course AA is the best starting hand, 100% of the time, You can't factually argue against that. It's as solid as the law of gravity.

AK offsuit is teh bestest ever because not only do you have two high cards you have two different ways to make a flush!

I think that same thing is possible with AA.

I'm also not a big fan of pocket AA, they are only the best hand pre-flop, after that there only as good as the flop allows them to be and i now have the discipline to fold the rockets under certain circumstances. I agree that "big slick" suited or unsuited is a powerful hand, i personally like Ax suited, with this hand you can catch an ace high flush, the low/mid/high end straight(s) flush, and if you don't hit any of these you always have the ace to use as the kicker for the lesser hands like pair's etc.....

Of course AA is the best starting hand, but the 5 cards on the board determine whether you win or not... According to the maths

i should win about 80% of the hands, and I can tell for sure that that is not the case...
Of course I exaggarated a little with that crappy board, and I know it will equal out in the end but I expect at least a few

more wins with AA then i have had so far.

Folding Aces pre-flop is the greatest move of all time when you are playing at my table....Keep that in mind next time you look at Aces when I am raising! LMFAO at this thread!!
