Pocket Aces

[THawk+]

I have noticed pocket Aces in a tournament are much more valuable than in a ring game....

It seems in a ring game they almost always get out flopped no matter how you bet pre-flop...

I play mostly NL with some Limit I can call the BB or raise the BB 10X and still get called...

ANy thoughts on this....If I am missing on a playing style help me out, I have tried them all I think...

Or is it just people won't leave the game if they have a pair pre or post flop???

Example: NL .25/.50 blinds I have AA I bet $3.50 two people call, flop comes
J,3,8 rainbow, First person checks I bet the pot next person calls, Turn comes 8 I bet pot again they call again, River comes J I check this time he checks now I am thinking he either has the other two AA or KK or he would have folded long ago....Flips his cards J5???

Are you kidding he stayed in with J5 and put all that money in to get lucky on the river with one of two cards in the deck to beat me...

I do not understand how these shet heads stay in with this type of hand and then get rewarded and then he talks trash to me in the chat box...

I have had more than my share of beats like these in the last few days..Almost as if the computer is in some kind of loop, there is no way these programs are true random shuffles like a live game because I have not seen the same garbage happen to me in a live game like what happens on-line...

Had pocket Aces the other night playing 5-10 limit kill game.Close to 300 in the pot got beat heads up with q's 9's on the river.She stayed in becuse she had Q's top pair on the board with her pocket 9 top undercard....semi legite....i raised and reraised like a bastrd too, even on the river when she checked back to me...I got sick to my stomach.

Pocket aces are more valuable in a tourney because you will not get as many callers preflop. Players are more willing to gamble in a cash game because you can reach into your pockets for more money if you bust out. In a tourney, if you bust, you're chopped thus good tourney players are less willing to call a big preflop raise. In a tourney, if you're putting your chips all in, you want to see a flop or have pocket aces. I would be reluctant to go all in even if I had pocket Kings or Queens in a tourney. One mistake in a tourney and you're gone.
