So i am at Genting casino sat in mid table , just been dealt pocket Aces get in i thinks both red. Villan 1 in Ep raises 6k blinds are 1/2k Villan 2 to my right goes all in 85000 i am sat there with 125000 chips and we all know its a no brainer so i call , Villan 1 folds. Villan 2 turns his cards over Ks kc im thinking get in dominated. flop comes Qs Js 2d 6s 4s what a kick in the go nads.
But the truth is i have done it to Pocket Aces and no doubt everyone else has at some point. I guess this is why you have to make sure you have a decent bankroll so when this does happen your not dead in the water. In fact reading up on it and astonishingly Pocket Aces only manage to win at showdown 33% of the time and pocket Kings are down at 25% of the time.

I've felted someone with pocket aces using 72 h and getting the flush. Feels great.

I think if you do it preflop, you've done nothing wrong. Post flop game is where aces can be played questionably.

I just got the unluckiest AA hand.

I raised 3bbs UTG.

Guy with 88 went all in.

Guy with KK called.

I called.

Flop is Q9J followed by a 10 on the turn giving both opponents Straights.

It's hands like these that make me believe some hands are rigged. The past few AAs I've had had been regular hands like winning out right or losing with 2 pair against 1 caller.

Regarding the data at the end of your post. I think that data is different if you can get the situation to a heads up situation. Those multi player all in calls really have different results than AA heads up. Lately I have won with AA and lost to AA when only playing heads up.

That variance. Going all in with AA is what every player wants. And yea getting sucked out 10-30% of the times is standard depending what the other players had
I seen AK beat AA with a Broadway at the river
AA can be high reward or cost of lot of pain

It's tricky in online, bad odds. You have to know how to play the hand

With the exception of some satellite or bubble situations in tournaments I don't even understand what the discussion/question is. One or ten opponents all-in pf is celebration time.

Not sure where you got your percentages. Over pair is about an 80% favorite so should win 8 out of 10 times heads up. Of course, the more people in the hand the lower percentage. Aces get cracked all the time online and occasionally live as well.

Well yes heads up preflop Aces have around 85% equity Kings are around the 82%. So they are pretty solid cards when you get down to a pair of 6s you still have 62% equity if you are heads up. The problem is how do you play your hamds. Earlier today I am sat SB with pocket Aces everyone folds to me so there's only the BB I didn't want him to scare of so flat called he had 9 2 off suit flop comes rainbow 2 8 J I bet 20 and he raises 40 the turn comes 2 I bet 20 he raises 200 I call I am really hoping he's only got an 8 or J but no he's got the 2 hasn't he.

My percentages is based on a 9 player table every time a player drops the equity increases

My KK pair is very unlucky. I don’t know how to explain it. But in almost 80-90% I always lose with them. Evil rock, magic, curse, I don't know ...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I will say I'm much more comfortable calling an all in pre flop with aces live than online lol. Seems like they lose much more often online.

It was the only way to play AA...get it all in pre-flop...after the flop, too many lucky draws to beat you.
