Aces hurt me on Bodog the other night...Bought in for $400 on a $2/$4 NL table.Second hand of the night, I buy the button with AA.I raise pre-flop to $15. Small blind re-raises to $40.Big blind calls $40.I re-raised all-in. Small blind called and had me covered with a stack of about $560.Big blind folded.Small blind shows KK.Turn K.Fu#k. That one hurt. Is there a different way to play this? I'm not really feeling bad about going all-in with AA, it just hurt to lose to one caller for $400 to start the night.

real f'ing money!?bodog!?hoo boy!
This was actually the first table that was anything like this since I deposited there though.... Up to that point it was tight as hell. I couldn't find the donkeys to save my life. They're supposed to be all over that place, but I wasn't getting paid off on jack up to that point.

Actually I just started playing there last week. $100 went to $1400 in two nights on the $1/2 and $2/4 NL games. There's a ton of chasers and they call a lot of big pre-flop raises. Also you can induce a lot of bluffing on there I found. Sit n Go's are not bad either. If you can, catch FLgator on head's up, this guy is a straight moron.

That's just extremely good luck. You should have probably gone broke playing that high.

No, you didn't play this wrong... you got your money in the middle with the best hand and best possible chance to win. When I have AA, I hope to God that my opponent has a pocket pair, because that greatly reduces outs that can hurt me... It's when they flip over J 10 suited, or something like 4 5 suited that I actually worry about straights/flushes/2 pairs hitting...

Suited_Up.. I actually played some sit n gos first and got my stack up a little, then bought into the 1/2 game just to try it out ... wasn't planning to re-buy. Then I started hitting and went to the 2/4.. Probably why the AA got cracked.

No offense, Kurt, but I just got back from an 11-hour review session and click on the thread topic eagerly anticipating another quotable gem from redpill99 or PrtyPkrSux. I am sorely disappointed, and you owe me a link to a funny Web site or flash cartoon.
