Favorite hand to crack aces
 

Just curious about fun stories of cracking aces and what your favorite hands are to do it--and of course the story associated with that.

Some of my fun stories, which I'm sure you all would find boring so I won't tell them, involve 43s, 42o, J3s, 87s, and my all time personal favorite hand, Big Lick-- 96 (Suited of clubs or spades being my choice).

And I think we all should take a moment of silence to thank those in the poker community who think 4:1 means invincible.

Also, at teh Excalibur, where they let you spin the wheel if your aces are cracked, the 1-2 NL is just the best for cracking aces--though I haven't been there since I moved up to 2-5 and mostly play online anyway.

One time I was playing $1-$2 no-limit at the Trop and had 2-7o while being the big blind. Three players call and the flop was 2-7-7. One guy bet $20, the others fold and I went all in with something like $150. He called and showed pocket aces. I show my hand and eventually doubled up. He was so p!ssed off, he got up in a rush to leave and tripped on one of those food carts and fell over.

A favorite of mine to crack aces is KK/QQ. I've done it once or twice with kings, and about a week ago against my friend I tripped up my QQ on the turn when he had aces. But just a couple of days ago my friend returned the favor when his KK tripped on the turn. Oh well.

I think you missed the essence of the OPs post.

I believe he meant the hands that give you the most warm and fuzzy feeling when you happen to crack someones aces.

I like doing it with 22. That 2 out on the board looks so harmless and it's the ultimate insult cracking the rockets with 22.

AA vs AA we ended all in pre flop and I hit the 4 flush.

KK and AK are my favorites as well. I had a reverse-reverse against a friend with AAvQQ as the last hand of a night where he caught a Q on the flop and I caught a flush on the river.

I think re-cracking a hand that's ahead of my aces (or just having aces hold up by improving) feels a lot better than any time I crack aces.
