How many times can you run into AA with out busting out of the same tourney!?

Apr 7, 2008 2:39 pm Report Abuse

So i stayed up late watching Dooman play SNG after SNG on Pokerstars and eventually got a spot in a $100 free roll. I started off good getting a nice early chip stack over around 7k when i get dealt K K in position. At this point im just hoping for any action at all.

blinds are 20/40
Player 1 raises to 360
I Figure ill re raise to 720
Player 1 raises all in...
I call instantly because hes short stacked to find out hes holding AA to my KK (i lose)

So i grind my way back up to a decent pot of about 12k chips playing extra tight. This time im small blind and i get dealt J J. Theres about 3 limpers so i decide ill take there chips and i bet roughly 800 chips. Instantly big blind comes over top with 1600 it gets folded back to me and i call because i figure he could be holding AK AQ. Ill see if the flop is good to me. Board comes 4 7 8 he checks and i push all in thinking that the pot is mine or even a call would be ok at this point if he is holding AK AQ. He calls and again i see AA. ( i lose again).

Back down to around 4k chips decide to play even tighter... only play when i have position... no limping at all. I think i folded 3 pocket pairs smaller then 7s and a bunch of suited connectors that are fun to play when you have a chip lead. Work my way back up by hitting flops as big blind and stealing blinds with Ace kicker hole cards. Im sitting about 80th right now out of 160 out of the original 2700 with 25k in chips with big chip stacks on either side of me so im playing tight unless most of the large chip stacks have folded already.

Along comes AA's again and probably the one time when i do see them i actually thought i had a chance because i just spent hours watching dooman play QQ vs everything and anything and beating it including AA..

So yea i got QQ again in position and Player 1 decides to bet 5k in to a pot of about 3k... i push all in because i dont want anyone else at the table to call and Player 1 is pot commited as he only had 10k. He calls and flips AA on me again. I lean back in frustration because its the third time. Board comes 5 Q ..This is where my heart stopped for a second like oh shit! I DID IT. then BAM third ACE lol. and again my chip stack is cut in half

I eventually pushed with AJ suited got called by 99 and he flopped trips. so it just wasnt ment to be

Finished 108th.

Im sure alot of you have run into over pairs in your play. But how many times have you ran in to the brick wall that is AA.

wow, that was harsh,.. never run into AA three times like that before,.. but I do run into long bad streaks,.. like three tournaments in a row being beaten after going all in with the nuts on the flop,.. better luck next time,.. gl on and off the felts,.. Railbirds card: Qh

the other side of that story is this past wk I have had AA at least 5 times and just about everytime that got beat. It has come to the point that I just hate when i get them.

Yesterday in fulltilt, the last two hands I played against was AA. I cracked the first, and I was out at 14th place with the next.

haha so my luck continues... sitting in big blind with AA and 5 ppl all call at 480 each so the pot was sitting around 3k with my stack at 13k i figure its a perfect time to push if i get no callers i still made 3k. I push get 2 callers...bringing the pot total to around 37k. first caller is holding kq suited and the other has 99.... flop comes clean im ahead and turn kills me... trust old trip 9s knock me out of the tourney again. totally on full tilt after these last 2 tourneys
