Haha yeah aces are terrible. I mentioned this in another thread, when I first started playing poker I always wanted to get AA now I'd rather not have them at all. Sometimes I'll go 2-3 sessions in a row without having aces and I'm totally happy about it!
 
It stinks, but honestly I think the poor bastard with the set of queens has more to complain about.

Ah I glanced quickly at that, not close enough obviously :tup:

Oh wait- no *I* wasn't looking closely enough. All the money got in preflop. AA had 80.84% equity, QQ had 4.98%, K2 had 14.17%. If that board runs out a hundred times, you only win about 81 of them with AA. You still got your money in really good and should keep doing that.

I did that again with 35$ just now and lost vs Q2 pre-flop
I'll take a break from online poker, people there are mental

Oh, you’re right. I thought the money came in on the flop too.
So some shitface decided to play for stacks, pre, with K2o, and rivered Broadway. Yup, that’s poker,

At least you were only 65bbs deep.;)

Your equities are a little off. AsAc had 72.12%, QdQh had 18.55%, and Kh2c had 9.34% He still got it in very good, which is all one can hope for.

That is a horrible play even if he’s attempting to steal it. The is no way you’re folding after betting $4. Seems like he wanted a call.
 
he played more than 70% of his hands and kept getting away with it... I lost like 200$ to players like him over the last 10 days... Having a monster hand and losing more than winning with them.
 
It happens repeatedly in each and every session.
You have your big pairs cracked all the time, or left unpaid.
You also lose set over set, flush over flush.

It's good to admit to yourself you 're angry and tilted, when you are; and stop playing.
If you realise these things are perfectly possible and "permissible" in poker, you can carry on playing long enough till they happen to other people too.

I had to play 7 and a half hours, more than 600 hands, the other night, to break even, 550 BBs deep...

LOL...I have you beat by 1. I lost to Q2 this past Thursday. Playing $1/$1 hold em, and I raised $12 preflop. First time at this game, but I knew it played bigger than $1/$1. My $12 raise got 4 calls, which I knew was bad news. Q2 villain flopped 2 pair. Lesson learned....bet bigger preflop.



HOWEVER, I think my buddy Mike holds the all-time worst AA beat. This will make feel better. (:

WSOP Main Event 2016:

I had a 1/10th stake in my buddy Mike and he runs into this on day 2.

Chip Stacks
Mike = 130k
Villain (V) = 90k

Preflop: Mike AA. Raises preflop and gets 1 caller.

Flop = A, rag, rag. No straight or flush possibility. Mike bets half the pot, and Villain calls.

Turn = K. Mike makes a pot sized bet, villain moves all in and Mike calls.

Mike shows AAA
Villain shows KKK and says, "that's what I put you on". The table erupted in laughter at the stupid comment.

River.... an f'n "K"

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is a runout worse than this (yes/no?). Villian needed those 2 cards to come on the turn and the river....and got both of them.

I was on the phone with my wife at the time and almost threw my phone at the wall because I was so pissed.

Now for the good news. Mike took his 45k and rallied back to $188k by the end of day 2. AND knocked the villain out of the tournament later in the day. :D

This kind of thing happens all the time. The worse the player pool, the more often big hands are going to go down to junk. But also the more big hands are going to win long term. That's just the way it is.
 
First time ever playing at a casino. I had aces...

1/2

Small raise into a 3-bet pre by the big-stack. I was UTG, he was on the button.
Everyone folds, and I call.
Board came down 5-3-3 rainbow, I raised $30~
He min raises, I go all in on the flop (like a genius) with $140~ left

Dude flips over 53off with a big old smile on his face, and the board runs blank lol

AA vs 53off

Sucked up all my chips into his stack, didn't even make a dent. Buddy had like 10 fuckin beer cups stacked on top of each other.

Wasn't long after that I got a PLO book and haven't looked back since :) Hold'em is fun and all, but it's more waiting and less playing. So you better play it perfect when you do get a hand!

It's exactly to those cretins that you loose your money to.
Ultra-TAGs are much more easy to handle if you know the basics.
Patience, discipline, knowledge and lots of hands is the answer.

Again, don't expect Justice. A deck of cards is second only to Life, when it comes to Injustice.
Think of people whose 5-year old girl got cancer.
Think of people who were born in some Nigerian or Brazilian slum. No soul chooses where to land...
Losing $200 to online cretins is entertainment.

Aces cracked promotions are pretty great. Guaranteed money.

I know you’re joking, but there are plenty of people who actually believe that. Yes, rake an extra buck out of every pot for insurance in case poker happens.

They have other promos as well, splash pots, 64 low at Big O, hot seats and pot sweeteners during sports event and such. They also have a reasonable BBJ. Best promotions I’ve seen in a casino. They’re gonna take the drop anyway so might as well maximize what we get out of it.

Shit, maybe you can answer this for me. I was playing in a tournament at Hampton one time, and some woman at the table asked if there was an aces cracked bonus there. At the time, I’d never heard of such a thing, so I laughed at her. But she insisted her regular room - one that was another hour or two north, that I’d never played in - had a $200 bonus for cracked aces.
I don’t think we ever established if she was talking about cash or tournament, but I remember trying to do the math in my head, and I couldn’t figure out how it could be sustainable to pay out $200 every time aces got cracked (at low stakes.)
Do you have any idea what room she was talking about or if not, how aces cracked bonuses work? Are the bonuses generally lower (than say 100 big blinds at a cash table). Or am I just overestimating how often aces get cracked?

It’s $100 it aces get cracked at anything from 3/6 LHE to 3/5 NLHE. They usually have 8-12 tables going, plus 1-2 tables of Big O where they have a 6-4 low cracked bonus of $100.

I’ve heard multiple people say that on occasion they’re oversubscribed on the bonuses they give out, but they must make money somehow. The tables and slots are always packed at any rate.

The 6-4 low cracked hardly ever gets hit. Aces cracked maybe once every other hour if I had to guess (based on ~60 hours in the room). They suspend it for their other promotions like the hot seat and pot splash during local sports teams games (based on when either team scores) and high hand promotions.
