Ace Busters
You’ll always have them at your table in a random homegame: amateurs who tell you they don’t like to play Aces. I can only say one thing to this kind of bullcrap: bring on those Aces, still the best hand preflop in NLHE!
Of course you’ll lose now and then with this hand, just like with every other hand. And sure it’s harsh when it happens to you two times in a row, just like it happened to me this week:
Yes this is harsh, and yes I would have preferred to win these hands instead of lose them, specifically because they were both played in the final phase of the tournament, but I’ll play them exactly the same again, anytime, anywhere.
