Busted Aces

[sjay2k]

I went all in before the flop with AA, called by A7o.

The other player made trip 7s on the river.

So frustrating! oh well.

i had the same experience, pocket aces, but someone called my all in with J 8 and got trip 8s.

[Tuff Luck]

Yep. shit happens. Sucks that he had an ace too.

A7o is actually the worst possible hand pre-flop against aces (as well as A6,A8,A9). You need two of three outs (or four cards to a straight or flush). If your second card is 10 to K or 2 to 5, then you would at least have decent straight possibilities.

2 weeks ago my aces were broken 4 times in the same night, some of the more memorable breaks were by 59o, KTo, and KTd. thats poker...

[junYUN]

59o? UGH. what was the situation? how'd they stay in the hand with that? just a bad call, or did they bluff and you called them?

I'm pretty sure my worst experience with busted Aces is against Q-2 offsuit that CALLED my all-in bet POST FLOP A-5-9, caught a 3 and a 4 to make a straight, how the hell do you call 67 cents post flop with Q-2 even if you think I am bluffing? What playable hands can you possibly beat, you can't even beat 5-6 at this point??????????????

[GeoffM]

67 cents, there is your problem.

It was either NL or PL penny hold em I assume?

People just play for the fun of it and don't worry about how much they lose. I would have folded personally, but when you are playing low limits, the lower you go the worse beats you will take.

[Tuff Luck]

Haha I have a friend that lost an all in with AA to Q-2. I think he caught a set of Qs though. Still funny.

[johnbaker]

a guy raised 4x bb preflop, i called expecting him to have a couple of high cards at the most... flop comes 678rainbow, he goes all in i call. as bad as it gets right there

[sjay2k]

that's not a bad beat. You should have put him all-in before the flop because he appeared to be willing to put his chips out there, instead of letting him flop something.
