Pocket Aces Debate

Have you ever lost with pocket aces all-in preflop? How did the hand play out?

Lost with aces all-in pre more times than I can count tbh. Last time was against kings and he spiked a set on the flop, felt like a kick in the teeth.

Lost with them to 7-2 offsuit once, dude was just messing around and flopped trips. Still tilted thinking about it.

Lost aces to J9 suited last week, dude flopped a flush draw and got there on the river. Swear the poker gods just love humbling us sometimes.

Lost to pocket 4s just last night, flopped a set and I was already mentally spending the pot 😂

Lost to 8-5 suited last month, guy called my 4-bet shove just for the meme and flopped two pair. Still not over it fr

Lost with em to AK more than anything else, always seems like that ace hits on the river just to twist the knife.

Lost to 8-3 off once, dude was just clicking buttons and flopped a straight. I just closed the app and stared at the wall for a minute.

Oh man, pocket 4s flopping a set is the worst because you literally cannot see it coming after all the money goes in pre. I’ve had that exact moment of mentally spending the pot too, makes the doomscroll afterwards hit so much harder lol

Lost em to jacks last tuesday, hit a jack on the turn like it was scripted.

Mine was vs 56 suited which sounds absurd but they were the short stack tilting off. Flop came 2 3 4 and I didn't even see the straight until the chips flew left, pure vacuum feeling.

yeah bro lost with rockets to q10 suited, dude went runner runner straight and i just sat there dead inside ?

imo yeah bro aces aint safe no cap, i jammed pre and some dude with kq got runner runner straight ?

Pocket aces all in preflop always feels safe until you run into a suited connector that actually gets there. I think losing to a straight like 5 6 suited stings way worse than a random two pair because you watch it unfoold card by card.

once my acse got crushed by a 9 3 offsuit that called my shove blind cos the guys cat was sitting on his phone lol, flop came 9 9 3 and i actualy laughed from the abssurdity

Lost with aces to pocket fours once, the board ran out low cards and suddenly I had nothing to show for it. You just stare at the screen for a bit and then move on, not much else to do.

ouch that 93 offsuit story hurt to read haha, last time it happened to me i was just too stubborn to fold postflop even though i knew i was toast

dude i lost with rockets three times in one night during a stake originals session, my buddy was watching my stream and just kept saying "no way" eevrytime the flop hit. the odds are like 80%+ preflop but those bad beats really find you when you least expect it lol

Did the opponent at least have a hand that made sense to call with?

Did you fold or was it all in pre?

id rather take a bad beat with aces than fold em pre and watch the board run out quads for the win

not exactly preflop but I got it in on a flop that was super dry, like 2 7 9 rainbow, and somehow the dued calls my shove with a gutshot and hits it on the river.. it stings way more when they just bink a 4 outer like that honestly

yeah lost aa to 33 last week bro flopped a set and i was already counting the chips ? ngl still tilted fr

lost with em at a live 1/2 game once, shoved for 120bb and got called by kq offsuit, flop came kk2 and i just stared at the felt for a solid minute

Did the board run out something brutal like a straigt or flush, or did they just spike a random set to crack them?

Pokerstars circa 2012, got aces in pre against kings and the flop came K83 and I just stared at my monitor like the software was personally betraying me.

still hurts worse when the board double pairs

I shoved aces pre and the guy called with J9 suited, rivered a flush and I just stared at the screen for a solid minute.

Honestly my worst one was in a plo cash game, got it all in pre with aces double suited and the flop came king high giving the other guy a wrap and he rivers the straight. Feels like in omaha those bullets just get cracked way more than holdem even when you're a massive favorite.

lost aces to 27o on teh bubble once, dude was just trolling and hit a straight on the river ?
