Most bad beats happen with these two hands, since everyone only looks at the pre-flop odds.
The cards that come on the board then completely change the odds.
But what can you do if you have AA in a cash game and the other player goes all-in before the flop (also with AA in his hand)? Obviously, you don't fold. Then he beats you with a runner-runner flush... Well, these moments will stay with me forever.

I go broke in the daily tournaments on Replay with AQoff and AQsuited quite regularly ; too strong to fold , and vulnerable to premium hands my opponents seem to have when the chips go in .

I lost a lot of money on both AA and KK. Just last night I lost an all in on KK.

Lately, KK seems like the new JJ—it just doesn't hold up against an all-in. But there was one day when I lost with 90% of the AA hands I was dealt, including three in the same tournament on PP.

AA surely. 4 from 5 wins at preflop so it is hand which gives biggest value

Pocket aces (A-A), because they're often played for stacks.

I've lost way too many pots with AK preflop. It's a premium hand, but if you don't connect with the flop, it feels like you're dead.

I've been playing poker for almost 10 years, and I can definitely say that for me, the entire deck of cards has long since paid for itself

This thread puzzles me. How could it be that AA or KK could cost anyone the most money?
Of course, you will loose a hand from time to time, sometimes you can be kicked out of tournament, but longterm, there is no way to loose money with AA / KK. Everyone wins with these hands.
