Hate It Every Time It Happens, But It Does...
I know I have folded AA many times... typically after I tip-toed into the pot in early position (hoping to get a big-raise and an opportunity to re-raise, that did not happen) and received a threatening flop (all suited, pair on board, very possible straight, etc) followed by huge raise and my chipstack is good enough that it is not worth risking it.
Overall, I am satisfied with my AA win %. According to my
intertops stats I have won 143 of 164 times I have had AA, so 87% winners, and I cannot complain about that, but I dug a little deeper into the stats by round and I was SHOCKED to see that I had lost 4 of 41 times I had AA,
PRE-FLOP!
After my jaw hit the keyboard, and I thought about it for a bit, I realized it was likely due to the scenario where I am in a Double-Up Sit and Go, I have a comfortable chipstack (close 1st or 2nd) with vulnerable small stack(s) left and the other big stack launches vs them... no need for me to risk it and possibly get taken out or severely crippled by letting him crack my AAs, when a win is so close and highly likely.
Best of Luck At The Tables All,
