AA vs. KK vs. QQ

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The dealer decided it was time for a big joke, one that ended up fantastic for me He decided to deal three players with the following premium hands: AA, KK and QQ (that would be me).

The AA did a small raise to 0.75$, the guy with KK reraised him to 2.75$ and I reraised to 6$ which left me with a remaining stack of 8$. The aces went all-in, obviously called by KK and I didn’t have any other option to call the all-in too. Although I knew I was beat but you know, the pod odds. But I was the lucky one: I did hit a set and picked up a nice main pot.

In just one hand my bad plays of the hour before (I didn’t hit a thing and tried stealing pots without success) got compensated.
