unlucky but usual stuff just pray your aces holdup next time. mine have been going pretty good, for last 15 times my AA have won. a downswing is just around the corner i guess

Nothing to do there to save you. good thing the opposite also happens when you dont expect it. pushed all-in with pocket 5/5 trying to represent a king after a small raise on a K/6/6 flop... got called by AA lol... down to the river with only 4% chance of win got my extra 5 . Cant say that the good guy always wins

Or....
You could be like me and go through weeks losing with everything above JJ 4 times out of 5. Much prefer J-10. Never go all-in pre with that and you can fold that s*** without feeling bad.

I know the story Last night i lost one more all in preflop with AA against KK from a flush. Happens all the time but losing from a hand like this is acceptable. When i lose from a caller with 67 off for example thats where i go nuts

I also lost all of my left bankroll on one client with AA. The guy got his straight on the river. Completely newbish calls from him from the start. But thats poker mix of knowledge and luck I guess

Bad beats will always be a part of poker, but sometimes you get lucky too. Recently in the HU stage of a microstakes 6 person turbo SNG me and the other guy raised and reraised each other preflop until we were all in and then - I got luuuuuuuuucckkyyyyyyy!

Ugh, that sucks man. Happens more than we wish it would but it's definitely a part of the game (but you know that already, lol). Nothing is worse then that toppsy turvy ride of going from winning to loosing in a few seconds flat. Better luck next time.
