Getting a Walk With AA

[Chief talking bull]

Well, a walk is better than being out drawn. I should know.

Hi all , how often do you get dealt AA in the big blind , only for everyone to fold and you get " a walk" ?
I know it's variance , positive variance , but happens quite often to me , crazily so

I hate when it happens too, but I prefer it to when I raise with AA and get 4 or 5 callers. I was in a hand last night. Was the late middle rounds of the tournament, about 40-ish people until the money. I am sitting in the SB with AA. a few people limped in and the button raised really big, I knew he had a big hand because he only raised with really big hands, but I had AA so I pushed and got 4 callers. I had almost 100 BB's but button had me barely covered. He turned over KK and turned a king. The other 3 had nonsense hands that should not have been in there and they were shorter stacks, but one managed a straight to take the small main pot. Count your blessings when you get a walk, even with AA because it could be so much worse, plus, it makes up for the times you get a walk with crap hands like 3/6

It depends how often you play and the value of your buy-in, It happened to me when I played at tables with buy-in over $ 7.50.

Then I played at smaller buy-in tables and during the tournament I had two or three times AA in my hand during the big blind.

I often lost with AA, this is an unpredictable pair.

I mean it's pretty unlikely to happen, and it's not something you will enjoy seeing happen. When playing live poker I don't watch my cards if I get a walk. Rather not see than see AA

When it happens early in a tourney I usually laugh and think “come on people” haha. When it happens when I’m scrabbling near the bubble or late in a tourney when I’m really low in chips I’m like “ are you kidding me, mother @&$#!ers, how can nobody have hand, this is such bull@&$%.” That’s just me I’m always pretty chill like that [emoji12]!

It happens a lot, even with Kings when in the big blind everyone folds.

 

[rafffinamore]

With me this happens a few times unfortunately. This position may be the best way to prepare a trap with AA. I'm going to start paying attention to that now.

 

[elias444]

It might it happen to me once, and yes is annoying but that's poker. You have to make the best out of every situation presented to you and if you get a walk with Bullets then just mock them and continue with the next hand; I guess is best that you don't look at your cards when you get a walk, this way you don't get affected by having a monster and not getting any action.
Good Luck in Life and at the tables..!

haha nice comments from everyone , yeah I know AA can lose easily from the flop onwards , just been happening slowly over time with increasing frequency lately , last week played in mtt and happened twice in the same hour ! ,
no real problem though as some big pots we win without AA/KK hands , so I don't rely on them , just nice to punish those aggresive players who love to attack blinds , then you're about to punish and get a walk instead , haha just laugh and play the next hand lol

 

[marcumx]

happened to me twice yesterday also i was talking to someone and was literally saying how when i go all in with aces, some donk will call with something bizare and win and sure enough AA utg, i'm down 10 bb's and i shove get called with 8 6 and i'm out...and he acts like , no big deal

 

[rproctor5076]

ya i hate when i gettem cracked but hate a walk too

 

[ninjareal]

tbh I hardly have my AA cracked , I don't know why , maybe it's my image or just variance , but I have quite high success when I do play AA , there are those times I try to slow play them and that's when mine are cracked the most , a few big mtt and a few cruicial moments when they get cracked preflop , but I don't mind too much , I don't like relying one 1-pair all that much

 

[bstest]

Yes it happens too often to me as well, nice betting before and after the AA but when I hit it, silence. It bothers me and makes me question the honesty of the playing site.

I think this situation happens with every player but still a few chips are good too !!!

 

[belizebum]

Love AA

I love getting AA, dont care which position I am in. Some times you win, sometimes you dont, whether it be from everyone folding or going all in and having one player call you. Hopefully no more than heads up.

 

[narc]

An important fact about what you expose in this topic is that anyway, you have won chips, regardless of whether anyone has entered this hand, you have won the chips is a reason to celebrate. One bad move would be you in UTG position with AA making a CALL, this could end you, since players who make 2 pairs in FLOP, it is best to raise a good 4BBs +, it's just a tip, and be happy, and let's play !! good luck!

 

[kolyasik77777]

Very rarely. I remember three or four times it was.

 

[muse713]

When it happens to me, the very next hand is full of action. Oh well!

 

[naVeela]

Either raise, or all in, both are must do.

 

[who115]

Doesn't happen to me often, but when it does it is usually hard to get paid off with it.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Hate to see that when I'm HU. Cringe worthy right there!

 

[JAAMEZz]

the WORST! esp if you're short stacked or have been super agro.!

 

[Goonsquad1217]

I used to like getting them. But not much anymore.

 

[angelamsmith05]

This is the most annoying situation - you are waiting for all-in from three opponents, and you only get 1.5 blinds

So true! It seems to always happen.
