THERE ARE many prayers offered at the poker table, but the most frequent among hold'em players must be: "Please, God, don't let my big blind be raised."
This applies equally to the limit, pot limit and no limit forms of the game, and as much in tournament play as in live cash action.
The only starting hands where a player does not mind being raised - either on the big blind or on any other position - are pocket aces or kings.

A PLAYER can expect to be dealt a pair of aces face down once every 220 hands. This applies to both hold'em and seven-card-stud.
