Yes, your unlucky day. How could we handle the situation ? someone ever read expert experience on article or what ? please share. I ever try with KK, not AA. When I already lose twice, I just limp in or call if small bet. I fold at big bet. Some of them help me to get ITM.

well reading your first post i though that a lot depends on the situation how those aces were cracked, but then later saw your another post saying that they were killed with all in pre-flop: now this sucks indeed, fortune was showing a big fat ass to you on the day. still you have done everything correctly- so either move on or smash your pc if it helps

What's the odds of winning AA pre-flop? Go look for that and note down that number. But also note down the way you played them (all-in pre-flop, 3BB raise, slowplay...). And then remember that, if you already lost all those times in a row, most probably you will win next when you happen to get that hand again, but you have to play it the same way so you can count on these percentages you will point down...
How i said on similar topic there, i got same problems abot 5 times i row. And the worst on it, you can do nothing, play aggresively or slow, and when the opponent is lucky, you are forced to lose. good luck next time mate

Very unlucky if you ask me, but unfortunately there is really nothing you can do about it...
Here is something that i saw minutes ago on tv, it was a FTP ad and it sad it's the only place where aces can be cracked on river so i guess they are wrong

Pretty unlucky teddy and the weird thing about it is last night I had my A's cracked a couple of times. Fortunately it wasn't four times, but never the less they were cracked by a set of 8's and 9's. I really don't care, well I do, but anyway we all have had it done to us and we've all done it. What gets to me is when someone has to be a smart azz and taunt you about cracking your A's.
this ol boy last night kept running his yapper after cracking my A;'s with his set of 8's and I never did reply. You know saying crap like "Come at me bro" and some of the other animated smiley's that are on carbon. Well, about 10 hands later I brought it on and knocked him out of the game.
Never understand why someone will run their yapper way before the final table. You might just be out before the $$ so watch what your bragging about.
I had 5 today in a row on cash games. But still earned 20$ on zoom so i wont bitch much about it. Best one for sure was vs JJ. I get third ace on flop i smile - he gets flush on river . or 7-8 call, 7 on flop 7 on river etc. Got pretty used to it by now.

That is pretty unlucky but goes to show that AA doesnt always come up with the goods and turns a hand into a real sit and watch whats going on situation. Converseley all the AA that i've had this weekend have come up with the goods...so win some lose some.
