My favorite way to lose with AA...
Home game tonight. Tourney. I'm rolling along, as per my usual, before I start losing coinflips to short stacks and then the bad beats get the best of me. This is true.... Of course, I'm up well over $2000 in the past year playing these $30 tourneys, so I must be doing something right.
Anyhoo, I get AA UTG. I raise the BB (400) the minimum (800). Short Stack goes all in (with 55), as I expected/hoped for $1400ish. SB thinks and calls. I push in for another $4500ish. SB says he's pretty sure I have KK (good read - I wasn't trying to be fancy, pretty obvious I have a huge hand). I have him covered by 150 chips. He says he hopes I have QQ because he had AK. I sooooo want him to call. Finally he does, I turn over my AA and sure enough TWO of the remaining 3 Kings hit the board, and I'm down to 150 chips. The blinds go up to 300/600 the next hand, and I magically rebuild my stack to 4700 chips again. This was about to be my best comeback ever. I push in with K9s from the button (we're 4 handed), hoping to pick up $900 in blinds. The BB calls me with JTo. I flop TWO PAIR....... You klnow how this is about to end. Yup, Q on the river. And that's the end of me. Did I mention how sick and tired I am of getting ym AA cracked? |
