Message: [QUOTE="thwenth1983, post: 7204830, member: 396943"] Good morning everyone, lately the hand that has been haunting me is AK against my AA. Even though I know it’s normal for AK to occasionally beat AA, it’s still very tough when it happens in important MTTs. AKo has around a 6% chance of beating AA, and I lost twice in the same way — with the villain hitting a nut flush on the turn. In one hand, the hero opened 2x, the villain 3-bet to 8bb, and the hero just called with 30bb. The flop came three cards of the same suit. After a c-bet, the villain check-raised all-in, the hero called, and the turn gave the villain the nut flush. I lost this way in the 10K GTD MTT on 888poker. It was a key hand that could have put me among the top 20 with 180 players left. It’s hard to take when bad beats happen, but I know that variance is part of the game, and situations like this will always come up. [/QUOTE]
