Hold'em Poker - Odds for Aces Before
the Flop |
Probably
as much as any single other thing, we have to concern ourselves
with probabilities that involve Aces. If we are holding a strong
Holdem hand like a pair of Kings or Queens or similar starting
hands with non-ace high cards, we usually don't want to see an
ace flop. Many players that are normally careful about playing
only good hands, will evaluate starting hands with an ace very
liberally. For example, a player who would almost never play
a K 6 offsuit from an early position, might look for excuses
to play the hand if it had an Ace instead of a King. . Players
often hang on to aces even when they probably shouldn't. These
frequency charts can give you some insight into how often aces
can impact certain parts of your game.
