Of course you couldn't. That's just silly.

(I'm not one of those who are supposed to give advise, but I'll try with this 'cause it's not very intriguing.)

You got all of your money in as a favorite and you are asking if you could have gotten away? You have much to learn about poker grasshopper.

It's a bad beat. Sucks that it happened, but they do happen. I've had a lot today, too.

I think that the only reason I posted it was probably cos I was feeling pissed off and wanted an assuring shoulder to cry on.

You won't find shoulders to cry on in here. If you want people to respect your posts and give good advice, don't post bad beat hands. Everyone has bad beats, and yours are no worse than anyone else's.

That sucks pretty bad. Sorry. What would you have done if you smooth called on the flop and saw that 2nd Ace hit on the turn ? Would it only strengthen your feeling to go all-in or would you be worried about a better full house ? I tend to like to wait for the turn to go all-in but its just preference. I will say that going all-in on the flop as opposed to going all-in on the turn increases your variance since you have no knowledge of two cards rather than just one. You made the correct play, though. You got your money in with the best hand. This hand was actually very similar to hand that I had 2 months ago. It put me on tilt big time. There was a raising war similar to yours but it was on the turn. Well the river put a 2nd ace on the board giving him Aces full of kings. I had 6's full of aces and couldn't get away from the all-in on the river.

Difficult to say what I would have done on the turn.

Probably would have not gone all-in for the fear he had a better FH - but who knows.

I have lost FH to FH too many times to count.

I couldn't have. If he trapped you with AA and spiked set over set it was the perfect play at the perfect time. If he had A7 or A9, you put your money in as the overwhelming favorite and he drew out on you. Oh well, it happens. Buck up and take your money back. And don't tilt. Ever.
