When I put low pp's (3-3) in pokerstove against AK suited, the low pp's come out favourite.

But I was watching a past poker game with Phil Hellmuth and someone else, and phil got beat he had AK and someone called his big raise preflop with 7-7, no A-K showed up and they ended up busting half of his chip stack.

After the game Phil berated the player saying he couldn't beleive he put that much money in with 7-7 that it was poor play.

I know he has a tendency to mouth off to his oponents when he gets beat, but is there any truth in this?

The reason I ask is someone was calling big with a range something like - AK, AQ, QK, - so when I got 33's I went all in with just two people behind me as every one else had folded. The guy who I thought would call did call and did have A-K.

He hit a King on the flop so I lost, I went back to pokerstove to check and it definately says 3-3 is favourite against A-K.

But in light of what Phil said about pocket 7's I'm just wondering if it was a particularly bad play by me or just a coin flip that I lost?

Thanks.
