Getting a Walk With AA

Chief talking bull · Apr 15, 2019

Well, a walk is better than being out drawn. I should know.

Hi all , how often do you get dealt AA in the big blind , only for everyone to fold and you get " a walk" ?
I know it's variance , positive variance , but happens quite often to me , crazily so

I hate when it happens too, but I prefer it to when I raise with AA and get 4 or 5 callers. I was in a hand last night. Was the late middle rounds of the tournament, about 40-ish people until the money. I am sitting in the SB with AA. a few people limped in and the button raised really big, I knew he had a big hand because he only raised with really big hands, but I had AA so I pushed and got 4 callers. I had almost 100 BB's but button had me barely covered. He turned over KK and turned a king. The other 3 had nonsense hands that should not have been in there and they were shorter stacks, but one managed a straight to take the small main pot. Count your blessings when you get a walk, even with AA because it could be so much worse, plus, it makes up for the times you get a walk with crap hands like 3/6

It depends how often you play and the value of your buy-in, It happened to me when I played at tables with buy-in over $ 7.50.

Then I played at smaller buy-in tables and during the tournament I had two or three times AA in my hand during the big blind.

I often lost with AA, this is an unpredictable pair.

Maurits92 · Apr 16, 2019

I mean it's pretty unlikely to happen, and it's not something you will enjoy seeing happen. When playing live poker I don't watch my cards if I get a walk. Rather not see than see AA

When it happens early in a tourney I usually laugh and think “come on people” haha. When it happens when I’m scrabbling near the bubble or late in a tourney when I’m really low in chips I’m like “ are you kidding me, mother @&$#!ers, how can nobody have hand, this is such bull@&$%.” That’s just me I’m always pretty chill like that [emoji12]!

It happens a lot, even with Kings when in the big blind everyone folds.

With me this happens a few times unfortunately. This position may be the best way to prepare a trap with AA. I'm going to start paying attention to that now.

elias444 · Apr 16, 2019

It might it happen to me once, and yes is annoying but that's poker. You have to make the best out of every situation presented to you and if you get a walk with Bullets then just mock them and continue with the next hand; I guess is best that you don't look at your cards when you get a walk, this way you don't get affected by having a monster and not getting any action.
Good Luck in Life and at the tables..!

haha nice comments from everyone , yeah I know AA can lose easily from the flop onwards , just been happening slowly over time with increasing frequency lately , last week played in mtt and happened twice in the same hour !

,
no real problem though as some big pots we win without AA/KK hands , so I don't rely on them , just nice to punish those aggresive players who love to attack blinds , then you're about to punish and get a walk instead , haha just laugh and play the next hand lol

marcumx · Apr 16, 2019

happened to me twice yesterday also i was talking to someone and was literally saying how when i go all in with aces, some donk will call with something bizare and win and sure enough AA utg, i'm down 10 bb's and i shove get called with 8 6 and i'm out...and he acts like , no big deal

rproctor5076 · Apr 16, 2019

ya i hate when i gettem cracked but hate a walk too

ninjareal · Apr 16, 2019

tbh I hardly have my AA cracked , I don't know why , maybe it's my image or just variance , but I have quite high success when I do play AA , there are those times I try to slow play them and that's when mine are cracked the most , a few big mtt and a few cruicial moments when they get cracked preflop , but I don't mind too much , I don't like relying one 1-pair all that much

bstest · Apr 16, 2019

Yes it happens too often to me as well, nice betting before and after the AA but when I hit it, silence. It bothers me and makes me question the honesty of the playing site.

0546474 · Apr 16, 2019

I think this situation happens with every player but still a few chips are good too !!!

belizebum · Apr 16, 2019

Love AA

I love getting AA, dont care which position I am in. Some times you win, sometimes you dont, whether it be from everyone folding or going all in and having one player call you. Hopefully no more than heads up.

narc · Apr 16, 2019

An important fact about what you expose in this topic is that anyway, you have won chips, regardless of whether anyone has entered this hand, you have won the chips is a reason to celebrate. One bad move would be you in UTG position with AA making a CALL, this could end you, since players who make 2 pairs in FLOP, it is best to raise a good 4BBs +, it's just a tip, and be happy, and let's play !! good luck!

kolyasik77777 · Apr 16, 2019

Very rarely. I remember three or four times it was.

muse713 · Apr 16, 2019

When it happens to me, the very next hand is full of action. Oh well!

naVeela · Apr 16, 2019

Either raise, or all in, both are must do.

who115 · Apr 16, 2019

Doesn't happen to me often, but when it does it is usually hard to get paid off with it.

MrPokerVerse · Apr 16, 2019

Hate to see that when I'm HU. Cringe worthy right there!

JAAMEZz · Apr 16, 2019

the WORST! esp if you're short stacked or have been super agro.!

Goonsquad1217 · Apr 16, 2019

I used to like getting them. But not much anymore.

This is the most annoying situation - you are waiting for all-in from three opponents, and you only get 1.5 blinds

So true! It seems to always happen.
