AAs were not my friend yesterday as well. I went on a run almost all day long where I lost 12 flips with AAs. 7 times I had AAs and lost 3 times I ran my pocket KK/QQ/JJ into AAs and lost. The other two I was UTG made min and in the bb and made 1/2 blind. Also three k and 1 Q high flushes would take me out near money bubble or final table when that hand would set me up for a good cash. It was one of those days where you’re just sick to your stomach because you’re laughing as you know the wrong card is coming on the sewer again and again leaving you thinking why do I even play this &$@!ing game.Yeah just yesterday i had AA cracked two times in 5 minutes.
And one of them was vs QJ.
And flop was 973.
And yes i did bet that flop two thirds.
Little stinker called.
Turn J.
River Q.
But i still closed session with double my bankroll.
True Poker player dont talk about luck. With enough still you can turn luck your way.
I get tired of having that big stack after the bubble bursts. Pretty hole cards always just chip away at my stack. Always flopping 4/5 a straight 4/5 the nut flush and bottom pair only to face a bet and feel whichever way you decide to go it will be the wrong one. Your card only seems to come after you fold and if you stay you are just throwing away 2-10 blinds. Then you get to do it again because you have AK in your next hand.Unfortunately this happens to everyone all the time. It’s tough when you are the person that’s all in and get knocked out on a bad beat but as long as you make the right play each time, there’s nothing else you can do. This is why getting a bigger than average stack is important. That way when (not if) you lose one of these hands you are still alive.
And remember, you recall the times you lose these hands much more than the times you win holding KQ vs AK or some other underdog hand.
It’s not that it happens, it’s always when it happens that hurts.Man, that is nothing. Play long enough and you will lose straight flush over straight flush, quads over full house, etc. All part of the game; variance.
