Pocket kings into aces

[sanekhorror]

In the afternoon, I was often thrown such a KK setup in AA because of this, I did not reach the first place, although there were huge chances to win, I was so angry why when you play everything well, and then you have a bang and a setup, now I think I need to force myself to throw off the KK.

This situation is rather rare, but often my kings flop a set

i ran into AA while i had KK in a little tournament and caught a K on river sometime later the exact same thing happened and i won the tournament... good luck that night

The chances vary depending on how many people are dealt into the hand:

One opponent - the odds are 0.49%
Nine opponents - the odds are 4.3%

Here's the working out to prove it:
There are 50 unknown cards left (you hold 2 kings), and your opponent needs both aces.

• Number of combinations of 2 specific cards (like AA) in 50 cards:

So:
~0.49% chance a single opponent has AA when you have KK (in heads-up play)

Now let’s check the probability that at least one of multiple opponents has AA. This is where things get spicy.

We use the complement rule:

• First calculate the probability that no one has AA
• Then subtract from 1

For example, with 6 opponents:

• Probability one opponent doesn’t have AA = 1 - 0.0049 = 0.9951
• Probability none of the 6 opponents have AA = 0.9951^6 = 0.9709
• So the chance at least one opponent has AA: = 1−0.9709=0.0291 or 2.91%

This happens from time to time. This is part of the poker and there is no need to worry about it.

Never fold KK, just a bad luck if opp has AA

It's not normal, at least if we talk about the chances of that happening, those three times you had very bad luck or they were very good

Kinngs is the best for me. Every time i win with ace's.

This is a rare event to happen, you can be sure that it will take a while for you to repeat it...

Yes, running pocket kings (KK) into pocket aces (AA) can feel surprisingly common, especially when it happens multiple times in a short stretch — but statistically, it’s quite rare.

Obviously it's not common, today I lost a QQ vs AJ, J came on the flop and J on the river, it was sad, and the worst comes next, I found a KK and thought "now I'm going for heads" I found AA, A came on the flop, and to piss me off, K came on the river. lol

Poker has many sad stories, like this one

Kings may have many aces as they play and from starting to the ending all setup may get disguised.BSD Brawl

Pocket kings have one major disadvantage compared to aces - this is the possibility of the opponent to collect a pair higher than yours, in other words, already from the first streets the opponent may have a stronger poker combination.The probability of an ace appearing on the flop is about 20%, which is much more common than you might think.

I have seen it happen a lot around me personally, luckily I have been on the good side of it when it happened, actually it was AA v KK v QQ and I was lucky to be holding the bullets after QQ limped, button raised with KK and I 3 bet... then limper shoves, call call, 5 bricks and I'm happy

 

[Rldetheflop]

I’ve just been knock out holding AA, MTT opponent had KK and flopped a set��. I was BB he raised 4x blinds so I pushed. AA is my least favorite hand.

No! You're probably just having selective memory. I know it stings the most busting out with aces but if you have tracking software I guarantee you it will be your most profitable hand.

The most annoying case is when the opponents have deep stacks. KK versus AA on the preflop. The flop is low and not dangerous. All or a significant part of the stack will disappear.

 

[makisaa]

Yes, it happens many times and it is weird, because it happens a lot something which is difficult to see it!

It's sucks to be honest, but it's part of the game. You can't fold KK,you have to call even when sometimes you can clearly tell that they have AA. If you start folding kings, you will also fold to players that overplay thier hands E.g QQ,JJ etc
