Recently I reviewed my KK hands. The result of 20 hands is dismal:
Won 4 hands raised and picked up blinds
Won 5 small pots
Won 1 all-in preflop against QQ
Won 2 good pots
Lost 2 medium pots, betting out where opponent made pair of aces
Lost 2 all-ins pre-flop where opponent had AA
Lost 1 medium pot where opponent flopped set of Jacks
Lost 1 big pot bad beat where opponent had a AQ, called and caught a T on river for a straight
Lost 2 medium pots, folding after a min-raise from a opponent (see below).
Totalled up I'm about $40 down from KK. The two AA hands, and the bad beat killed me. But I also learned a couple of things from this:
1) Be wary of the stealth Ace - the Ace on the Board that you pretend is not there.
2) At least consider the possibility pre-flop that you are beaten by AA
Also, two of the hands puzzled me, and being somewhat gun-shy by this stage, I folded both of em. Were my bets on the turn weak? Should I have called the min-raise? Grateful for any feedback on what others would do in these situations:
