Just now i was playing in a freeroll tourney and doing rather well working my way up to about 8000 in chips when i landed the great hand of pocket aces but sitting in early position. I thought great here i go. now the guy before me went all in putting me in that awful position of going all in which i did. Then the guy on big blind went all in. Now the guy showed pocket 3s and the guy on big blind had pocket tens. On the flop came jack 3 8 all unsuited then the 10 come out all but putting me out of the tourney. So i was just wondering on the worst possible outcomes that has happened to you that has made u quite ill.

Yep, aces get cracked somtimes.
Just yesterday, AA vs AQs preflop all-in. Of cause the opponent made his flush. But those hands don't bother me anymore, s**t like that happens all the time.

Well you did what it said in every book. Best move you can make in poker is go all in with the best hand at the given moment. Be happy it were freerolls

U play the aces really good. If You go all in with aces pre flop you win more than u loose, believe me . Unfortunately u loose at this time but this happens in the game. If your opponets going all in pre flop and u have the aces.. GO ALL IN ALLWAYS !!

Feel bad forya, I almost never win with my aces, doesn't matter how i play it. Better to fold them then go all in(although i never do that, greedy as i am)

My worst experience definately had to be when i was at about 1.2m in chips 1st place, 24 people left out of around 7500 i had pocket queens sure enough flopped quads and had them beat by runner runner. Took about 85-90% of my chips leaving me crippled Ended up coming back from having 1 round left than getting beat 17th place by runner runner diamonds giving the guy ace high flush

Posted by ChoonT: KK vs KK preflop all in and he made a flush on the river ...told him nh and
It's nothing :/ today i lost AA vs KK just like that. He got flush with K :< and i got sad 5 minutes after it... The worst i was 5 with chips and he was 4....98 people left. I was so happy he didn't got another K didn't see the flush for first... Happy man changing into sad in seconds for first dunno what the hel happenedl :/.
pushing with pocket rockets is never a bad move (although they are foldable if on the bubble). The worst is when some donkey calls with a rag like 8-3os and out draws u for all your money. That's sick but does happen.

The other guy hits a runner-runner straight flush or higher quads?

I had just recently stolen the last 4 or 5 pots with either a check raise or over bet so that i would be able to have it look like that when i flopped a monster I was either on the SB or button, he had 2h,4h flop comes Qs,Ah,Qd I put in a continuation overbet of about 2x the pot he nearly instantly pushed over the top Just gets rather frusterating since this seems to ALWAYS happen right after i outplay a guy constantly and than proceed to trap Turn=5h River=3h

If you knew anything about odds at all you would realize that the chance of having four aces beat by a royal flush are roughly 1/2,700,000,000 so thinking you can have us believe that you seen quads beat by a royal flush 6 times in a single morning on a legit site makes you look like a complete fool considering you would have to play 1 hand every minute 24 hours a day for 5133 years which is 1874545 days of playing 1 hand a minute 24 hours a day every day of the week JUST to have played 2,700,000,000 hands making you now have a likely chance of losing quad aces to a royal flush ONCE
