I love hands like this. I swear upon my own grave, I sat there thinking to myself, "Man, I always get single-suited flops with aces, and it's never a suit that I hold." And it always happens on Party. Aliens run that site, I'm telling you. And they all have giant probes in our brains that suck out our thoughts.

C'mon people, out of the woodshed! I know I'm not the only one who truly, truly believes this ...

You need to think positive.

You get pocket As...think "I'm gonna flop quads". It's poker though. That's going to happen every once in a while and, especially online, people will call just for the hell of it.

Gotta love it.

It probably wouldn't have mattered, but I think you should have raised a bit more prelfop.

Also, rather than calling and then folding to a minimum raise behind you, think about raising on that flop (min raise is ok) to find out where you stand. When the guy behind you doesn't go away after a bet and a raise in front of him, you know you're up against AT LEAST a flush draw - THEN I think it's ok to fold your hand. But where you folded, for just $3 more, I don't know that I could be sure my overpair wasn't still good. You could easily be upo against a hand like KQ.

If I was the original better, btw, I would have reraised hard for sure on the flop, which would have cost me a bunch more chips.

Then again, every piece of advice I am giving here would have cost the person I'm giving it to more money, so what do I know? In the long run, I think those are better plays though. Hopefully Zybomb or someone will chime in.

Gf!

You just made me feel a whole lot better about the AA I folded after a single-suit flop last night. I didn't get to see the final cards, but I'm sure I would have seen something similar!
