A10d vs JJ - A10 wins
AQd vs KK - AQ wins with river diamond
AQ vs KK - AQ wins
AK vs 99 - AK wins
QQ vs 99 -QQ wins
AA vs K10c - K10 wins, board goes like this flop K810 Turn 8 River 10
AK vs AQh - AQ wins board goes this way flop Ks 7h Kd, turn 8h, river jh
now why is it that, with the exception of AK vs 99 (in which 99 is 56% favorite) EVERY hand the favorite is, at least 72% to win, yet 6 out of 8 dogs won?
Shoudln't the odds point the other way?
Why the hell would ANYONE want to play online garbage when the best hand NEVER holds up like it should.

Mad_dog I respect your knowledge but its that type of thinking and wording that gives people a false perspective of the game:
Your words example -
I just played in a tournament. I have AQ in the cutoff blinds are 100/200., I have 2850 in chips I raise to 600. Guy to my immediate left goes all in for 2770. I call (putting him on 1010 or JJ) I call. He has 10 10 (ok it's a coin flip) Flop AQK now, before the turn and the river are dealt, I predict a Jack on the river. What do you think the river is? Exactly!
Here you made a marginal call with the WORST hand. Your opponent held the BEST or BETTER hand and in the end his BETTER hand held up, so when you say the best hand NEVER holds up you are not stating the facts. Flip the situation and if you had of won (with the worst hand) this hand we wouldnt even have been reading about it here. I guarantee it, but thats what im saying: like online_suckas! stated (basically) you got to know when to FOLD em and when to HOLDEM. Thats the game my friend and fellow poker player. If the cards are going cold and you recognize things not going right leave the game at first moments notice. This takes time and discipline, but I GUARANTEE doing this paired with making the right decisions will have you making MORE $$$ than you will LOSE, leaving you positive MORE times than NEGATIVE a HIGHER %%% of the time. Good luck at the tables my friend.
