In normal poker, AA is the best hand when heads up against someone. If there are more than 2 other players in the pot with your AA, you have about 50/50 of winning. Now, this may be controversial, but I would ask that for your online experience that you take a look at the hand immediately prior to your AA hand. See if you would have won that hand against the other players - if you would have won the previous hand (or if you did win), especially with some sort of unlikely draw (running flush, straight, etc.) - then your AA is scheduled to get cracked. If you check and the previous hand would have been a loss for you, especially if it would have been second best to the winning hand, then your AA will likely be good for you.I start questioning the AA pair, because today I have three consecutive tournaments where I lose with this hand, will it be bad luck? What do you think???
Don't pay attention to this crap.In normal poker, AA is the best hand when heads up against someone. If there are more than 2 other players in the pot with your AA, you have about 50/50 of winning.

Also, check to see if you are facing a villain who just lost a significant amount of their stack in the last hand. You are more likely to lose against this villain with your AA as opposed to a villain who just won.
Try this and let me know what you find.

aa is great live but sucks online.
lol. What part of that made you think "yeah. This makes sense."?Excellent analysis, I will do it and I will comment the results.
If it's such nonsense, why not let him take a look and decide for himself?lol. What part of that made you think "yeah. This makes sense."?
Don't waste your time.

The biggest problem with Aces is that you often overestimate the situation and you overplay them in deep blinds referring on cash games.
However on MTT's where you often have to push a lot is the absolute best hand
