Really liked this line by @Lelaina. Too many people will check the turn to trap. By keeping her foot on the gas, she got max value. Nice!

Ok guys, to play the weapons of mass destruction…
preflop, reraise in any position… flop, bet
In position, check call out of position… at the turn you
Usually can tell if you can continue with your
Monsters or not, say a completed draw can scare
You out of the pot if its a healthy bet by an opponent,
But you can lead out of position on the turn since u
Have
Aces(top pair) its usually typical to bet your top pair
On the turn. The top pair bet on the turn tests to see
Wat kind of hand your opponent has, but if they call
Check call the river out of position and check
In position.
…on the river if theres no draws you usually can
Bluff in this situation with aces. In low stakes games
dont Expect folks to fold aces or overpairs.
Heads up is different with pocket rockets
This hand is a big mountain heads up.

Doug Polk says when people say they lose most of the time with aces, his response is “wow you must be really bad at poker because that is the best possible starting hand” 
That guy’s a savage LOL

Big blinds per 100 win rates from over 1 million hands.
One starting hand wins significantly more than all the others
It’s also interesting to note how much people overplay suited connectors.

My theory: the suited K/Qx hands perform worse because people make the 2nd or 3rd nuts and lose big more often.
AQo performs better likely because of all the AJ/AT/A9 stuff that gets overplayed.
KK and QQ are KK and QQ.
I have no idea what’s going on with KTs. I guess it coolers more under-straights while KJs runs into broadway and KQ/AK more often, and more people are comfortable playing those two hands for a big pot? Ideek.
This is such a concrete and digestible illustration of the principle that the worst thing you can do is make a good hand when someone else makes a great hand
It’s not that complicated

I would guess KQ is never folding top pair and often losing to better hands when a lot of money goes in. People will find the fold with KTs, so they’re probably only continuing with 2 pair+, and doing ok in the big pots.

I know some kind of card expert n numbers expert etc:) Sometimes you have to play the player (s )and forget all that other crap, seems to work for this older man for many years in ANY poker ( 7 stud, holdem etc. ).
Bought my house from poker-JK around here but seriously, with card chasers n bingo players, i think i lose 80% of the time on here or small cash games…Bigger cash games, ppl. respect the cards ( a real player understands what this means) and love AA there:).
Agreed (not about me an expert), but playing the player is the most important thing. I’d just rather do that with aces than any other starting hand :).
