The AA curse...

[bryan24]

I guess this is just one of those hands that I can chalk up to experience. Anything else I could have done here? If I go all-in b4 the flop I probably get called anyway....

isnt it sad that you're only like 60% to win after the turn haha.

Actually almost 72%, but still sad...

Ouch.....the way that person raised it like that preflop w/ just QJ seems like to me that they knew what gonna come out there . Then betting on the flop w/ only Q high & needing runner runner to beat you seems odd. On the other hand, AAs always get cracked but whatever.......................................

ive had em busted twice in the past couple days when 4 diamonds hit the board and gave em flushes they certainly seemed cursed lately

Statistically aces are probably holding up like they should but it sure seems like they are getting beat more than they should. Last night I'm in a $50 buy-in MTT. Early in the game blinds are still $5 and $10. I'm UTG with AA. I raise to 70, folded to villan in the cut off who raises to 240. folded to me and I reraise to 600. Now seriously if UTG raises and then reraises what else would i have but AA or KK. Anyway villan pushes all-in and I call of course. Villan shows QQ. First card on the flop is of course another Q and I'm out of the tourney.

You would think there would be less donks in a $50 game but nooooooo.
