    Default How do Pocket Aces lose twice??

    I just played in two Freeroll Tournaments I should say I just got knocked out of two freeroll tournaments on PokerStars.com both hands I was the short stack in each tournament and got Pocket Aces so I decieded to go All In and lost both of them Flush and Strait. I'm supposed to be playing in a Live Tournament this coming Sunday. I'm starting to dout if I should even go. Sorry just steaming.

    AA is going to lose to atc 14% of the time. Chance of losing AA consecutively against atc is 2%.

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 85.205% 84.93% 00.27% 140682817 451046.50 { AA }
    Hand 1: 14.795% 14.52% 00.27% 24056151 451046.50 { random }

    Shrug and praise jebus that your exhibit good BR management. Thats poker.

    Edit: im assuming you shoved ai preflop HU.

    Thankfully over the course of time I think I have learned good BankRoll Management. Even though they were just Freerolls, still Stings. Proabably just me as a bad player.

    So a skilled player loses less shoving AA preflop than you do, against atc? Assuming a preflop shove HU, the odds of losing with AA against atc are independent of skill.

    Then how do you explain the fact that good players are better at winning flips?

    I hate how my 80% equity doesn't win 100% of the time. It's so unfair.

    I'd lock this or move it but I think the new mods are still trying to figure out all the settings so I will let them.

    I was wondering if I should have put this in the Tilt or Bad Beat forum. Thanks for moving it.

    I've played enough to know that Pocket Aces are going to win all the time it's just frustrating to lose with them in back to back hands even if it was two different tournaments.

    Why should this thread be closed it's just a little steam.
