| | | AA sucks
I have AA bet 4 x bb and get called. Flop rainbow zipee. Bet the pot and other player goes all in quick. Figure bluff. It was he had 99. of course turn zip river 9.

I couldn't agree more. I am so sick of losing with AA to a medium to small pair that trips up. I have actually taken a small break from my cash game because of stuff like that....burns me up. |

The person with the 99 is all proud of his great play also.

Getting AA is like walking around with a sock stuffed in the front of your pants.
Sure it might look good, but it really doesn't benefit you in the long run, except to make you think you have something great, when you don't. |

Last evening I had AA late in tourn., chip leader at 140k, allin and 2nd chip leader with 137k call with J8. He got his J8 on the board to beat me with 2 pairs.  |

You live in Reston. You get abused in ways much worse than this. 
Were there any over cards? I can't blame the guy too much for getting attached to the overpair. I remember when I was in my cold call, check-raise all in with QQ on any flop w/ all under. |

I had this happen to me last night too! I had great position, raised pre-flop w/AA 5 x the BB. Got called. The flop was 4 low cards, non consecutive. rainbow... I bet the pot and get raised all-in... Of course, I am thinking "He called me with a low pair and now hit a set, dammit!" but I guess I am just not a good enough player yet to be able to lay down AA.. When I finally can, and I am not shown a total bluff, maybe that will be the sign that I have taken my poker game up a notch.
But I guess a player who consistantly calls a 5x raise pre-flop with a low pair will lose a lot more money in the long run than I will. |

Basically you need a good read on player to make this laydown IMHO. In low limits, I probably get stacked here most of the time unless its a scary board (flushed, 2xK, 2xQ, etc). I had a similar hand the other day but I got lucky because it was flushed board and the guy flopped a set. The scary board kept the betting to a minimum. Quote: |

| Not necessarily. If I had 22 and knew you had AA and I' still make this call if I knew I could get a sizeable chunk of your stack here if I hit. If I miss the flop, I'm out the 5BB but if I hit the flop, along as I can get another 35BB out of you, its the right call. This play is usually reserved for deeper stacks or multiway pots.  |  | |
