Someone tell me I played this right... I usually never lose with AA.

[123Law]

Me in SB, dealt AA.
Everyone folds before me, I decide to slow play (Please see my post title "AA too aggressive?" for the reason).

BB checks.

Flop = AKQ (no flush)

(I am happy as hell right now.)

He bets .10

I raise to .40

He raises to .60

I reraise to 1.20

He goes all in,

Me, with AAAKQ, calls the all in.

and the rest is history. He shows TJ for the straight, and I show AAAKQ.

I never lose with AA.

I put him on K, or Ax, or maybe even KQ, but not TJ.

Did I play this right?

AND THEN, 10 Mins later, this happens:



Just not my night when it comes to AA.

[123Law]

Someone tell me that was just a bad beat. Getting smashed with an 89s.

I am just venting, but dang. 2 times in one night, seeing my pocket Aces smashed by a straight. And the second one just hurts.

If I play AA aggressively, everyone folds, and I waste a good hand. If I slow play it, someone will catch their damn straight and kill my hand.

What, should I just fold when I get it? Dang.

Ug.
