I'm especially unlucky when I have pocket kings. I know for sure that my opponent will have an ace in his hands . And there will be an ace on the flop and out of nerves I go all-in.. This has been haunting me for a long time and I'm used to it . In other words, pocket kings are a trap for me!
I wonder why these traps happen to make the tournament go faster and eliminate other players with small stacks from the game... that's my opinion. It seems like the hand is strong and I'll double my pot, but in reality I almost always lose. .

Well I'll be the first one to say it. either AA or JJ. They are meant to be among the top hands in NLHE, however. I guess it is different live than online. As millya5 says sometimes, I believe it is also due to the fact that once a pokersite has its money from a game, (tourney), and late reg has closed, then for them, that is the money from that game, and there is plenty more games to come. Let's get this one finished and encourage them onto the next one.

It's those awful pocket Jacks back when I was playing them as if they were a very strong hand. Instead it is way too easy to overvalue them and then even easier to get outflopped. It's a very deceptive hand.

Mark I see you agree with me a little . I would also like to talk about the random number generator, but that's a completely different story.Well I'll be the first one to say it. either AA or JJ.

AK by far, doesn't matter if they're suited or unsuited.
Most common scenarios I see are either completely missing the flop and villain won't fold to c-bets, or flopping TPTK and still way behind to garbage hands flopping two-pair.

In my case for me the question is not "how much I lost" but "how much I could have won" as I don't pay for buy-ins, rebuys and add-ons. So, I'll answer that I went all-in with KK in this year's Sunday Storm tournament and lost to a player with hand "A9". He got an "A" on the board.

As incredible as it may seem, it was with AA that I had the biggest losses. Non-financial because I rarely play cash games. But in tournaments, great opportunities slipped out of my hands when I had AA. I play soberly with other hands, but AA takes me to the lottery. And I often get along badly with them.
