I picked up AA on the button for the first hand in the tournament. Everyone folds to the button. BB is sitting out. SB is live. I raised to 3x blind. SB pushes all-in. I called...
Guess what's on the turn. Yes, SB spiked that T.
What a suck out hand. This is the first tournament I paid points to get into... that's that.... kinda fast...
I guess he had 1010 since you didn't say. Still, I feel for you buddy, at least it isn't that common to go broke with Aces on the first hand. And hey, you'll get more points and another shot at this.
It definitely happens, and it sucks when its you holding the busted aces. Everyone here has gone through that on more than one occassion. I've been on both sides. I've been the donk to bust aces by flopping quads while holding 72os, and I've lost count of how many times my aces have been busted. Just gotta roll with the punches, and get to the next game or hand, depending on the situation.
Hey, I like your certified dumbass certificate. It looks really funny.
yeah, i like the certified dumbass. exactly which dumbass school can you get that at
If it was 1010 vs AA, this seems pretty standard, cant fault the guy for thinking he has the best hand. just unlucky for your AA
that's what I is jus a guessing game
Happens constantly. Nothing you could really do there.
welcome to the club, its poker.
The story continues! Today on my 2nd tournament that I paid points. I picked up AA vs Q7s all-in preflop. My opp spiked Q two times. That's just my luck!
Statistically speaking AA losing 2 times in a row is just 3%!
Why is it not the 97% I can at least win once!
Hehehe.... You tell me.
This time at least I beat 3 players, before I got busted because it was 6th hand of the tournament. :eek:
yea I had KK in a live game and he shoved all in with TT and flopped a T pretty cr4ppy feeling when it was 350.00 in the pot
This time I improved to 7th hand on my 3rd tournament with paid points. I hold JJ. UTG raised 3x BB. 2 limpers, I just CALLED. Reason: I don't want to miss and fold with a big pot. I will play safe here.
Board comes: 4 8 9 rainbow
UTG made a small bet (He probably missed at this point)
limper raised to a pot size bet. I thought... well, I can let straight draws get there, I don't think he's got 2 pairs or better. I reraise 1/3 of my stack.
Limper immediately pushed all in with his 9T, I called
Turn: T River: Ace
This is pretty bad luck losing to top pair. Statistically (using holdem calculator) I should win 81% of the time here! Leaving me with only 30 chips left.
Statistically 99.4% of the people beat my luck. I am keeping track!
You just have to brush it off and keep playing your game.
I hate being all in preflop. Theres just so much that csn go wrong even with aces. Every player has their own strategy but all in or fold doesnt make sense to me. any suited flop any paired board or any connecting board like 789 is bad for your aces. Assuming you are playing a tournament or freeroll especially theres no way your playing with tight players theres always a donkfish in every game so that considered I don't want the donk to have my chips so I never ship preflop so he can call with 910 suited and hit. But everyone has there own thoughts.
happens way too often ,,, need to be able to shake it off and move on.
I understand that you are trying to limit your risk. The thing is... I thought you WANT to put in your money when you are ahead. That's exactly what I did.
It doesn't seem to happen as often in a B&M live game.
to bad
Suck outs will happen again and again, just dont tilt from them.
It is just a part of poker. Roll with the punches, and get back up and plug away again. Not much you can do with how the cards fall. We play the odds, but sometimes the odds work against us
My bad luck streak ends with me making into the money on my 4th run!
Really first hand of the game and the guy comes over the top of a raise with a shove and you can't fault him. Why in the hell are you playing poker and why the hell do people think 10-10 preflop is worth an all in? Anyone who plays this way is just a bunch of dumbasses.Quote:
