wow, searched a bit for more info on the "KoD" and u seem to get aweful luck with it mate.

i just lostwith KK to 5 3os though, i hope this isnt a forum virus type thing!!

I hate to be the bearer or bad news, friend, but I think you are now in the club.

And yeah, I coined "Kiss of Death" referring to KK more than 3 years ago, I believe. It's annoying in cash games, but it KILLS me in tourneys. I can't tell you how many tourneys I've busted from holing KK.

Ahhhhh.......... shit.

I used to win with KK.

Still, whats the right way to put this?

Great Poker Advice > Losing with KK?

[Spuddy]

I'd have to strongly agree.....

The last few times I have had people call 3-4 x BB at 0.10-0.25 limits with a weak ace and flop comes A rag rag......

I usually still bet, depending on the number of fishie's that come along, but I find KOD to be an un-fun hand to play. Next too set over set, I hate playing KK

- 55% win rate w/KK over 2,000+ hands (oh, and 66% win rate w/AA during the same period). Fun times, fun times.

[Mogul4]

Holy f**k. (sorry)

What have i done

You will more than make up for it with how much better you play the rest of the hands you are dealt.
