Message: [QUOTE="ted80, post: 1266688, member: 56913"] ^^hey man AA can be a real curse! you want to protect that hand as best you can. if everyone folds to you preflop, consider that a victory. that's not a hand to play around with. sure, we'd all like to see AAK drop down on the flop when we have that hand but it just doesn't happen very often. no matter what drops on the flop if i get a caller, i want them thinkin "this dude has hit it, i better get out of here" and hope they don't think "heh, i got trip 7s now" because i'll be damned if i'm not going to try to push them off of playing any further, unless they let me know otherwise. you will definitely take a nasty beat with it and remember it. i cashed that sunday grand at doyle. finally, a chance to have some money i don't mind losing, and try my hand at a ring game, 2/4c is their lowest i think. my AK lost to some awful hand, and took half my stack. i started building it back up over the course of an hour and a half, not quite to what it was. oh sweet AA. i'm on the BB, mid-pos raises, i re-raise. GOD! they called, wtf, dammit. the flop had a K in it (they had KQo), i bet a good lil amount of cents...they raise to where i have to shove, whatever, i was thinking they suck or they have 2 pair and have me on a pocket pair. i shove with my AA...their 3rd king hits on the river. there goes my expendable money, gonna have to cash the sunday grand again. that's fine...i never would have played KQo in a ring game from early-mid-pos but i guess that's their thing. was glad i had an agressor to play with at least, just didn't go my way. i'm sure they were pottying their pants till the river hit anyway. but hey. AA is a guaranteed high pair...sometimes a flop and a turn, and sometimes a river just suck, even if you've hit a 3rd A; and by that point, you'll often be pretty committed to your hand. i think, by just a matter of luck, i've hit more flushes/straights with AA than with KQs just because i don't play KQ very often...i just don't know how to play KQs as well as i play 78s or 89s. maybe that's a booboo on my part [/QUOTE]
