Do you often lose to AA

szwajar1979 · Aug 27, 2026

How often do you play AA? Is there always an entry for everything before the flop? Please give me directions. Because I've lost all my cards for the last five AA times.

Mario7 · Aug 27, 2026

Always. Always aggresively, always raise. Always ready to play for stacks preflop. AA are always favorite, so in a long term it is just a winning hand, no matter short term cases. When called and playing postflop, of course adjusting, ready to consider folding if facing aggression.

AA against random hand -->

Stringy · Aug 27, 2026

not often but when i do i've gone all in and it's very painful

TulasMoreno · Aug 27, 2026

20% of the times but it’s part of the game.

Yes... against and for and the craziest thing is when you are about to enter the bubble.

pokersztar · Aug 27, 2026

Yes, but honestly, I feel like I lose more often with AA than against it. 😂 You can get the money in preflop with the best possible starting hand, and somehow there’s always someone willing to call with 64 or 69 and hit the perfect cards on the board.

That’s poker, though — you can make the right decision and still lose the hand. You just have to accept the variance and keep making the correct plays.

Losing with AA five times in a row feels brutal, but unfortunately it can happen. AA is the best starting hand, not a guaranteed winning hand.

Preflop, my general approach is to get value and avoid giving multiple players a cheap look at the flop. But I wouldn't automatically play for my entire stack with AA in every situation, especially in a tournament where stack sizes and position matter.

The important thing is to separate the decision from the result. If you got the money in with AA against a weaker range, losing the hand doesn't necessarily mean you played it badly. Sometimes the cards simply don't cooperate.

Five losses can be variance. Five bad decisions would be a different problem. That's what I'd review.

I often lose to loose players playing aces, tight ones a bit less

narc · Aug 27, 2026

When you play few tournaments, it’s painful, but when you play a lot, it’s just variance—it’s bound to happen!

RENEY444 · Aug 27, 2026

I lose KK lots more than AA . Lately I've just been shoving allin pre flop in MTTs .Sometimes I get a nice double up early .

marco198121 · Aug 27, 2026

It’s Thursday; I think I’ve already lost and gone all-in about five times this week with AA. And get this: regarding 888, GG, and WPT, I’ve moved past the debate about the companies themselves being behind it—now I’m placing the blame on the likely general administrator of the simulation we’re currently living in.

Well, playing AA preflop gives you around an 80% chance of winning the hand, but it’s not 100%. You were just really unlucky. When you played AA, were you usually facing more than one opponent? The more opponents you face, the harder it is to win the hand. In my style of play, when I have AA and someone has already raised before me, I usually double or triple the bet to get more chips into the pot and then see the flop. After that, I decide whether to go all-in or not. Whether I play more aggressively or cautiously depends a lot on the flop. But if nobody has bet before me, I just go all-in and let God decide

khushalprem · Aug 28, 2026

AA is the strongest starting hand, so losing to it is part of the game. The key isn't trying to beat aces every time—it's making the correct decisions based on the situation and accepting the results over the long run.

R.Melnyk77 · Aug 28, 2026

Just because you have AA doesn't mean you have to win. It definitely doesn't. Maybe you're making the same mistakes. Or you're just unlucky.

CaioRJ · Aug 28, 2026

You lost everything for the same reason most people who play AA lose, you got emotional about having the best hand in the game and didn't want Fold, even with the Board making a Straight/Flush, you didn't want Fold and lost everything, I've already folded AA post Flop after a Donk Bet on a Straight + Flush Draw board, most emotional players can't do that.

dompoker · Aug 28, 2026

I think it has happened to all of us to lose to AA, especially when other players are given the opportunity to see a flop, it's risky.

_L0ntana · Aug 28, 2026

I'm always aggressive with AA -in preflop and post flop-... under the luck of Saint Patrick!! 🤞😉 “Whatever the result is” 😂

bronwen777 · Aug 28, 2026

You want to suck people in, but not scare them away completely. Need to find the balance. if you go in too soft, you get too many poop hands who want to play and they strike 2 pairs randomly and you lose. so my approach is sometimes and must admit the times that it works best for me is when I am the agressor.. and I take control of the pot, or I am driving up the price for people not to see what they want to see. if someone else is the agressor, I stand back and fold. So with AA, Drive out garbage hands, by raising somewhat high, but also low enough for Ak and J10 hands to feel like they want to play too. good luck man. but dont slow play, dont just call.

nah i never trust AA raise at pre flop. i better all in

3 times lose to straight when i raise and hold let them raise
no more raise for AA

Mazembe · Aug 28, 2026

Alot of times mate, it's one of the frustrating because sometimes you can feel it that your opponent has AA

wavefunction · Aug 28, 2026

AA doesn't come around that often, so when you finally see it, it can feel like you HAVE to win with it But five losses in a row with AA can definitely happen. I've seen plenty of people get crushed with aces multiple times in a session.

Preflop, I'm usually getting money in with AA rather than trying to trap every time. Raise it, 3-bet it, and if the situation calls for it, don't be afraid to put the rest in. The important thing is not to start playing scared with aces just because the last few didn't hold..end of story what is not inn my hand i least bother about that and expected value has to converge with real tie value for infinite sample size

If you got the money in with the best hand, sometimes you just have to shrug and deal the next one. That's poker.
