Default Yet Another AA Tale

Just happened to me on poker.com

You know they say this is the strongest hand, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

Pocket Aces go 4 times the blind. One call. Flop comes... 7, 8, 9 rainbow. Call all in (basically double the pot). The other player calls.

At this point I know I am risking a straight draw and would be okay with that here. But the guy shows a pair of twos. A pair of twos. I mean come on, there are three cards on the board that (if paired) beat his hand.

Anyway, you can guess what happens - a two on the river (gotta love that river).

Thanks for letting me rant.
