Actually though aces are not that good at all, especially if your up against 2 or more people. I was trying to make a point that aces are a great hand to have obviously (being the best and all), but they can be beat and are not close to being invincible. The fact that I lost 4 times in one day a couple nights ago with aces prooves this. The key is that I only lost a few chips each time but once when I was sucked out by AJ when the guy nailed runner runner Jacks on me to make quad Jacks.
Perhaps you should elaborate a little more next time. You plainly stated that aces were over-rated, and I feel that they are not. The point of playing the hand strong is to get the other hands out. If you go heads up, you are obviosly the big favorite most of the time.
