i'
m referring more to online play (where you can't outplay the
fish as much because you
don't have physical tells
to go on).
but, even for offline play, i think that by slowplaying
AA preflop you as often as 1 in 4, you are losing a lot of value.
and also, i
don't care that it might happen to you once a week. that's not the point. the point is to play optimum poker the whole time. i will be dealt
AA more than 4 times a day sometimes online. also, if you are playing
AA like this, you may also be playing hands like
KK and other hands in a less than optimum way.
also, you do know that
AA has a 50% chance of winning against 3
random hands.
by slowplaying
AA preflop you become one of the
fish.
it is true you want
fish to get money in the pot. and you do that by raising! and not letting them in cheap!
i think this might be a fundamental flaw in your game. if you were openlimping
AA 25% on the
button online i would say this is definitely 100% a huge
leak. and i would instantly note you down as a
fish if i saw you make this play.
