When I read Gus Hansen's book, Every Hand Revealed he mentioned several times that he enjoyed getting a walk - basically everyone folds to you and you take the pot down without any further cards dealt. Maybe that feels great at higher stakes, and maybe that feels great later on in tournaments, but when you are playing ring games at my limits it SUCKS. I sit and try to play halfway decent poker and finally, when i get the best starting hand in poker, I get a walk! How frustrating that I have to go back to semi-bluffing with straight draws, KQ suited and low pocket pairs. Now that is much harder work than starting out undoubtably on top with best pocket pair.
On the flip side, I have run into way too much trouble holding aces as well. I have had my aces cracked on many occasion. They are a very hard hand to lay down; and to be brutally honest I don't think I have ever laid down that starting hand. Ahh getting no action with Aces in the hole; it's both a blessing and a curse.
What do you think?
Getting walked on AA - Blessing? Curse?
