Do your Aces get cracked more than half the time in tournament play?

Just a pocket pair, how often does a pair win when your playing 9 handed. That would be a simple question one could ask. Otherwise if you have a large enough sample of hands it will come out as the odds should be.

You played it fine. Unfortunately you got unlucky.

What about my questions and villain's play at all?

Ok so aces get cracked a lot being that they are the best starting hand. They do not get beat more than they win though. It is just so normal to remember the bad beats and forget the good or great wins with aces.

You dont have to open jam KK preflop with 20 BB.

His call preflop is a mistake as you raised on the larger side but he probably didnt care since he had you covered. Same with his call post flop. He just got stubborn and lucky.

I like the way you played this.

I lost with AA 60% of the time!
Minutes ago I lost my AA vs AQ offsuite! The fool got flash at the river~

I guess I am running good this year! I have won with AA 89% of the time in 2021. Losing only 11%.

They seem to be the cause of most of my tourney knockouts. Real painful when it happens.
