Most frustrant thing, or at least one of them is when you loose with big cards. Having an AA and loosing in front of a 2 and 7 is annoying. Even more annoying is when someone with zero cards goes all in from the begining, you have AA or KK or AK same colour and you loos. And this is not happening just once or twice. It is not an exeception, is a rule.

Hello noellepaige
That is the reality of poker the AA is the strongest hand in poker but it´s not unbeatable but I rather have them over 7-2 of suited
But I have to agree with you is very annying and frustrating to lose with the pocket rockets but that is poker and those bad beat are a big part of the game

Hi mate i know how you feel , when you lose with AA you just have to laugh it off it happens all the time in poker and it is called variance some day when you play KK against AA you will win it will even out in the long run so stick with poke play a lot , volume is key to deal with variance, so good luck mate have fun at the tables and make a lot of money, now im out for good going to rest need it as i have work tomorrow and so on!
A rule of what? Exception of what? What are you trying to say? What is not happening once or twice? Your beatable hand remained beatable despite you was thinking that you somehow become invincible with those in your hands? Ever heard of odds, variance, probabilities?

Losing a premium pass is always frustrating, online poker there's always doubt whether the software is rigged because it happens frequently and usually whoever wins will almost always someone who just juice pass because he had more chips than we

....AA is only the best hand preflop. Once the flop comes its fair game for any cards and ur AA can be dominated and ass raped. AK is a great starter hand preflop as well but calling down to the river with it like most muppets do without hitting a pair is retarded. Its Ace high until connecting and without connecting its stilll gonna be Ace high. Keep in mind just because your dealt AA, KK or AK doesn't mean your garenteed to win the pot or you deserved to win the pot its just another hand amongst the group of hands u need to play to come iut on top to win the game

If you are playing in freerolls or micro stakes then get used to it. If it is a tourney that players are taking seriously then having an opponent calling with 2-7 will be great. It is frustrating but if the best hand pre flop won every time it wouldn't be much of a game.

With AK it will happen a lot of the time. AA or KK will hold up against one opponent with two random cards a lot better. But even they are just one pair, so they will get outdrawn from time to time.

G'day mates
What can I say but I feel your pain. I loss with pocket aces online all the time. It does get damned frustrating sometimes. always remember though it is just a pair and a single pair is easily behind after any flop. wishing you all the best be cool

Hi mate.
For what i saw in the title of thread, i want to say to you, that that will happens many times, maybe every day and every week, because, don't happens if you don't play, but you play sow is a possebility that kind of hands, or every hand lose for other kind of board/player. You just need to forget and move on to the next tournament or hand, because the win is in the long run, many of hands before.

I'm not sure why people get so caught up by losing with AA. It's only best pre-flop, there's other hands that can be made and statistically will be made when playing against AA.
AA v 89s, is stll only 77% v 23% roughly 1 in 4 times, you're going to lose when showdown happens. If you play high volume, then this will be more evident that ever before. It's frustrating, but that's poker...

No way you can lose with pocket aces in poker, I mean they are the strongest hand ever - so whenever you lose holding them in your hand the only obvious thing is that pokerstars ( or some other poker site, doesnt matter) is rigged. What else could be the explenation??
Seriously now - no one wants to hear bad beat stories, the are boring, they happened to all of us, and no one really cares about your cracked aces, really. They are not interesting at all, I mean if you want 10 mob points go to complete bullsh1t thread
If it is a tourney that players are taking seriously then having an opponent calling with 2-7 will be great.
