brael Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Of all the tournaments I've played in over the last week, the hand that's put me out is KA. In the Poker Player grand prix tonight it took me down for about the 5th time on the trot. Surely, under the law of averages, it's got to hold up at some point... soon, preferably?! :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick mick Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Re: Note to self:Put KA down! You can't take freerolls like that too seriously, far too many muppets getting lucky after making bad calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveadam23 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Re: Note to self:Put KA down! Looks like a few of us have been quite unlucky today in the Grand Prix - I'm dealt AKo, raise 3x the BB from mid position. Raised by someone who has been quite loose aggressive in previous hands. So I force his hand and raise all-in, thinking he probably has an Ax or KQ etc. He turns over A4o. Flop comes 245, neither the turn or river is any use. And he has the cheek to slag me off after I go out!!:@ Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit 2 pair on the flop, put in a big bet and got re-raised. I moved all-in and got called. Opponent showed KA so I'm ahead. By the time the river had hit he held a better 2 pair! Another experience with A3 last week when I flopped a full house, A's full of 3's... opponent goes all-in and I call. He shows 3 of a kind A's. A 3 comes out on the river to split the pot! :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Re: Note to self:Put KA down! thats the problem with A small - u get outdrawn/beat with top pair crap kicker best lay it down Damo ps AK is ONLY ace high - its rubbish unless you get help on the flop, so its not a suprise you are losing with it - I notice that no one ever posts a thread along the lines of "83 shite hand got beat 5 tourney's in a row after raisin 5XBB preflop" just an observation ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
