just bad play

reraise pf

raise the flop

of course, you still lose, but thats nto the point. there are times in poker you lose with the better hand, you just haev to get used to it. but the way you played this is wasting potential profit in other situations

P.S.: be careful about posting hands just bc they are bad beats. the bad beat police will get ya

Reraise prelop. You'd do well to NEVER "milk" aces. When all 5 cards are out, a one pair hand is pretty poor multiway. Get as much money in preflop as possible. Just calling is an awful play.

You should definitely re-raise preflop here. A good player might fear that you have AA, but most players at this level cannot and will not lay down KK preflop. He's likely to push all-in preflop, which you love to see. Unfortunately, he hit his 5-outer... but he is a huge dog before the flop so you need to use your edge, not sit back and call bets.

while you played the first hand way too weak... i might be inclined to say that you played the second one maybe a little overkill? while it's true that if you get a caller, you can definitely say you had him beat when the chips went in.. but, there's a good middle point to find.. between this extremely passive and crazy aggressive dual personality.

this is retarded.. AA is the worst hand? are you stupid, its going to win 80% of the time. Give me AA and you have have any two cards... we will make a 2:1 bet and play out 5000 hands. We will see what you are saying then.

Theres no way KK is going to fold there... You will lose that hand 1/5 times.... meaing you will win the other 4. shut up and take your beats. dont fill the forum with this garbage. im drunk and i hate you... go die

while rt1 did jump down your throat and do backflips, thats gonna hurt less that continuing to play AA like that. Re raise that preflop and get your money in with the pre flop NUTS
