Happens 4-5 times a day, on a standard day of ~10k hands on GG RnC

If I have KK and my PFR is 3bet, 99% of the time, it's AA. In fact, if I win a hand at all with KK, I am usually astonished.

It's difficult not to play when you have one of those hands, those arte the best and you just can't fold.

I'm just curious to know how many times you've had aces and the other person had Kings or visa versa where you had kings and they had aces and what was the outcome.. I've had this happen a lot lately it is a setup hand most definitely.
I've been playing poker for 5-6 years. And yes, it happens quite often, but I definitely don't consider it a set-up hand :)
I call it poker, in which luck plays a decisive role.

Over the years of playing, I have had a situation many times when I had KK and the opponent had AA and the other side, in most cases AA won.

So what exactly are you interested in these hands? It's obvious without alternative comments: with “AA” against “KK” you feel like you rule the world, and with “KK” against “AA” you feel trapped and poker rooms make it that way on purpose. It's all about psychology, not poker rooms. :unsure:

Many times. Sometimes I break aces with kings.

With a pair of aces, a player can pursue different strategies depending on the situation at the table. He can choose an aggressive path, raising the stakes and putting pressure on his opponents, or he can prefer a more cautious approach, trying to maximize his winnings in case of favorable circumstances.If you have two kings in your hand, your chances of winning increase significantly, but they still depend on several factors. When facing one player, you will have about a 30% chance of winning, which is quite a good result considering the strength of a pair of aces. As the number of opponents increases, your chances will decrease slightly, but will still remain high. Depending on the specific situation, a pair of kings has about a 25-28% chance of winning.A pair of kings will always be a strong hand against a pair of aces, but success in poker also depends on the ability to make the right decisions in specific circumstances.

I went to Vegas for a week of tournament play back in June and my first tournament in round 2 I got AAs all in with her KKs and lucky me aces held. She had the last laugh, in my last tournament of the week she knocked me out with her JJs vs my TT lol. Poker is fun!

KK is a hand i tend to get a lot more than AA for some weird reason and consequently, i win more with this hand - based on frequency of hand - usually if anything, i have fared as well if not better with KK than aces but its close.
As much as i love Cowboys, i am not auditioning for Brokeback Mountain 2 :)

At least for me this situation is not frequently no matter if I have the AA or the KK. Which I think is a good thing, because it's not easy to fold KK.

Do you think that some cards should not be in the deck?
Do you think that if someone has a pair of aces, then the opponent most likely does not have a pair of colours?
You must have just started playing poker, because I assure you that over time you will see things that will be difficult for you to believe :)

When these hands are found it is difficult to fold, usually it ends with all the chips in the middle, in this case I prefer AA in the hand. It's very difficult to escape even for professionals, so just accept it and be lucky to get a K to River

Most of the time I won with AA and when I was with KK I almost always lost.

I prefer AA is the best hand in poker, even if you don't always win with that hand.

I like AA over KK because of the obvious reason that it is a better starting hand. I've lost many of hands with KK, I don't know why but it happens.
maybe bet heavier? are you always going to showdown?

This situation most of the time will have no escape... it's a cooller situation... perhaps you can avoid this, in the case of the pair of kings, if the prize jump is very high and there is a player out of the hand with few chips (short stack)...

I lost more with AA, incredible! At party poker, when I played there, when I got KK I knew that someone had AA 😂 and lost.

KK needs to be dropped
AA will almost always play

I play even 2 7 what can I do if only it comes today
