hey whats up people. just thought i would come share a bit of frustration. i was playing at bodog in a ten player tournament. i was down to the last two, heads up, both of us having about 7k. him a bit more than me but just about even. after giving each other are blinds for a while it happened. i was dealt pocket kings!!! i limped in slow playing a bit knowing that if i got ahead of my self i wouldn't be able to draw him in. the flop comes ace,9,2 all clubs witch was nice bc 1 of my kings was a club. so i thought ok lets push the ace and see what he's got, i went in for 1200, he calls. the turn comes KING, yea baby get you some!!!! i check hoping to throw him off my trail a bit. he bets 2000 and i of course call. the river pairs the board with a nine!!!! the hell with them clubs know i have house guest, right!! i take a little time b4 going all in and crossing my fingers, but feeling like a winner already. even if he folds hes all but out. he calls instantly only to turn over not one but two aces!!!!! ahhhhhh are u kidding me two pocket pairs k's, and aces in heads up play, woooowwwwww!!!!! then again if you have to lose thats the way to do it right.
It's not a frequent occurrence to have KK vs AA in a heads up situation, but once you assume or know that one hand has KK, the probability of the other hand being AA is about 0.5 percent.
yeah i mean thats really unfortunate, but the only advice i can give regarding that, is to have bet pre flop just a little, because in most cases, Aces will always re raise because they are the best hand. and then if you call you can at least have a chance at letting the Kings go, but its really hard to do. NH tho.
A classic example of getting cold decked. The craziest thing other than your opponent having aces or 9s, is that you played the hand in a correct manner. Crazy to see that monster hands were dished out the final hand of a tournament. It woulda been sweeter for you to have hit a nonpairing club on the river though.

I don't beleve this. Today i had 99. I made a little re-raise a guy gave it. flop: 567, i raise, ha call. river is: 8: I raise, he re-raise. I went all in, he call. He had 10-9. Oh my god! Stupid fish. It cost 500$ for me
Everyone has his bad beats. You couldn't have played that hand any better than you did, it's just a bit of bad luck that he happened to have aces. At least you finished second, that's not so bad.
I lost on queens full to kings full. I lost on sevens full to four aces. I had a pocket pair of sevens and the flop came ace, ace, seven, giving me a full house. To bad it gave him four aces and a fish, me, that was looking for a hook to bite. That's why this game is called gambling. Because that's what it is.
I got a royal flush once and only got half the post. Check it out.
