AA vs KK

#1 14th March 2005, 11:46 PM

Iwas playing 1$/2$ game in PokerStars. I was on BB. All guys folded only SB player raised 4x. I had AA. I've reraised his hand 10x. There was 40$ pot. Flop came A 9 8. I've bet 50$. He called. Pot was 140$. Turn card was K. I bet 100$ he made all in 360. I've called. 860$ pot. River came K. He had in his hand KK. Did i make mistake?

Seriously? You're asking if you made a mistake?

AAA which was clearly the nuts after turn, and you're wondering if it was a mistake to put all your money in the pot? I'd put my house on the line with that one. He had ONE out. Just unfortunate for you that out came up.

You played that hand well indeed. Just because some idiot couldn't read the board and continued for hail mary catch or he was just stupid and didn't think you had pocket aces isn't your fault.

You played the hand right and were just unlucky, you should have won.

#5 15th March 2005, 8:47 PM

of course you played well .. that's how I would have played as well

that is whats so crazy and absurd about online poker, you seem to deal with the most ridiculous hands, but i guess someone has to be screwed over becuase it is cards, its just ridiculous becuase that is just a one in a million shot

have to agree with what everyone above has said, thats a one in million shot that someone would get that one out and catch that king, sounds like you played that well all the way through, trip aces you cant let go of.

I had a similar situation come up where i flopped quad fives and the turn and river were both Ks to give the other guy 4 K's versus my 4 5's. Situations like that are just unlucky, you can't really avoid that kind of thing sometimes...

yea go all in on the flop and smart person with KK knows when they see and ace they are probably beat.

#10 16th March 2005, 7:48 PM

HELLLL NO
IT WAS PLAIN LUCK WHAT HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR.. lol hitting 4 of a kind in turn/river is lucky.. you had to go all in in the time when you hit ur set

played well, just unlucky its part of poker

#12 23rd March 2005, 12:49 AM

To me you made the mistake of slow playing & not going all-in on the flop.

#13 23rd March 2005, 4:56 PM

I don't see how either of you made the wrong play...everyone is dissing the KK player for moving in with a set of kings. That is a hard hand to drop in itself

Although, if with the reraise pre-flop, he's gotta put him on Aces. But still, I don't think you can drop Kings.

You just got unlucky that the one outer hit.

#14 24th March 2005, 3:47 AM

no mistake here, he just got lucky, you played it properly i believe

#15 24th March 2005, 6:55 AM

both played it well...yea if you wanted to get him to fold which he prolly would'nt of...you should've raised all in on the flop but chances are you would still get called...either way you did it which was fine slow playing it the way you did....even when he's holding KK you don't expect that "1 outta million chance" to come up ....bad luck good playing both of you...it sucks i've lost the same way....hurts bad lol

All i have to say is unlucky as everyone else has said it's a one in a million chance but that has gotta hurtunlucky mate

#17 26th March 2005, 7:19 AM

u just have to ask - why meeeeeee????????????????????

#18 26th March 2005, 6:07 PM

No.....you played it perfectly. That is just horrible and shouldn't happen...him catching running kings to beat you....that's horrible.

#19 27th March 2005, 7:39 PM

I will call any bets w/ pocket K's. There is no bet that will get me to fold pre flop or after the flop unless I saw an Ace.

#20 29th March 2005, 8:26 PM

Dont think you did anything wrong. I think that the guy was just dumb luck or he is a psychic..

#21 29th March 2005, 8:27 PM

Both of you played well...he went all in shortstacked and prayed and you lured him into all in when you had a set! Perfect play from both angles and someone had to get unlucky...
