I was in Las Vegas last week playing in the noon Caesar's Palace tournament, when my pocket KK's ran into pocket AA's. I lost that hand, and soon finished out on the money bubble in 9th. This past Saturday, I was in a tournament here in Dallas when my pocket AA's lost to KQ offsuit.
God, I really hate AA's.
As evidenced in the WSOP, when Jordan Smith got knocked out in 10th, having pocket AA's anymore it seems can get you in trouble. When did this happen?
I haven't played tournament poker for that long, maybe a couple of years, but it seems more and more when people turn over AA, they feel like they have to shout out something like "C'mon hold up one time"! Since when did such an overwhelming favorite hand turn into a race? I think it comes from all the analysts on TV that are telling the audience that a small pair or suited connectors are the way to bust AA. So now, there are less people folding to a big raise preflop, hoping suck out on somebody. I guess there's only one thing left to do....
kill all the analysts.
