Hi all, hope you're running well.

I had this hand today and to be honest, I had figured 1 of them to have AA, most likely the shorter stack, hence I called the second all in. I'm trying to decide if this should be tagged as bad play, or as a bad beat.

Also, how do you do those spoiler things?

Thanks in advance!

Would they have played this hand the same way with QQ? AQ? It seems one of those guys had AK. I'd say it's worth getting it in here with KK.

I'd say it's a cooler. AA vs KK is pretty uncommon. I don't think we can put either of the villains exclusively on AA.

KK against AA in not uncommon.... Only yesterday a lost with AA to KK in all-in preflop (K came on river), 2-3 times had it in live games this year...
But you had no option really in this dynamics... If it was only 1 player raising you it would be easier... When CO backraises it doesn't look like aces because he just called your preflop bet, not limped from EP... It is possible that your have very high Fold vs 3-bet percentage and he desided to just call... It only can mean AA if the Button is an aggressive squeezer raising in these spots nearly 100% of the time.... Button's hand looked like aces 5 betting pre... It is strange that he did this with AK... AK is a fold for me against 4-bet and 5-bet ....
Against certain players in deep play I fold KK pre against 5-bet

Thanks for that Wizard, works like a charm.

I'll take yours and Falcons input and put this down as a cooler.

It's rotten that quads came on the board as I would have won 55bb on that hand vs the AK villain otherwise.

It's hard to fold KK pre, don't worry about it. My only concern is that you were really deep. If there was ever a time to make a hero fold, this could have been it. But don't worry about it, I'll never say its a mistake getting it in with KK at the micros.
