The Perils of AA
Posted 22nd May 2008 at 08:36 PM by GaryWatson
I've had AA three times in two days, a bit barren by normal standards.
The first one I managed to get an all in pre flop against QQ.
What happened? Another 2 Q's flopped on the board giving him quads - Game Over.
The second AA - I'm playing just before the blinds, I put in a minimum raise against a player who had a tendency to defend his blinds.
What happened?
My raise was enough for the blinds to fold, giving me minimum value.
5 Minutes ago - I picked up AA on the big blind. The tournament had just started.
I still had my 3000 starting chips - 4 players before me put in a 200 bet. When it got around to me, I put in 1500. One player went all in, another followed. 9000+ chips in the pot.
What happened?
the Guy with KJ offsuit collected the pot when two K's landed (1 on the river).
It was an $11 rebuy. I decided not to bother rebuying
Conclusion, AA is an annoying hand this week
