Why almost all the begginers just "fall in love" with their hands, such as AK, AQ etc.
How to stop this?
Need an advice :D
If you step back and look at it for what it is, and this is every time, they're just two cards. They're not magic or clairvoyant, just 2 cards. It all comes back to position, stack size, and any pf action before you. AK and AQ suited are monster hands. I've won countless flips and made broadways and all the other outcomes you can think of w/these hands. But I've mucked them in pf situations as well, if I believe they're no good. I think I've only mucked AA once and that was when I was on a bubble, but that was a loooong time ago. Don't think I could ever do that now. But I digress.
I will say this though, I do not discourage any player to play a certain way or to think that what they are doing is bad or whatever. The game is built on missteps and bad luck so if anyone wants to shove w/AK or AQ every time, suited or not, who am I to say DON'T DO THAT. :unsure: :censored: :cool: 😈

Because the table shows the following concerning these two hands: They stick with it - they fall in love... And sometimes the big coolers (AA, KK, QQ) come along to cool those pulses... or both "napkins"(3T, 27...)

These hands are not invincible - this is learned the hard way, because the love for them is very strong and the judgments are wrong sometimes... like this...

...They also will win massive pots - if are played correctly... (i think this is good example)

I'm also begginer, but i try to lear somethig... 3-4... 10 years ago I didn't pay any attention to the study... but now I want to be a winning player 🎯, not a loser 👎(And I will have to work hard for that, if i want to win). 🏋️‍♀️

Hi, you need take account a lot factors like information of the villains, your pot, and learn to fold if the table doesn’t show your strength, and in the beginning you should be aggressive.

To be honest, I don't really understand the question. It's really good hands, you just always have to look at the situation at the table. If it's the flop then maybe these hands can be passed up, it all depends on the opponent and the board.
