the battle of premium pairs

Monday, April 27th, 2009 | AA, all-in, KK, QQ | No Comments

This is one incredible poker hand Aces versus Kings versus Queens. I’ve been there, done that. The moment I’m speaking about, I had the Queens and was all-in against two opponents with KK and AA. Off course the aces didn’t win that time either :p I was the one with queens who called an all-in of my two opponents, and flopped a set. 

To be honest, I don’t like getting the aces. They lose me a lot of money in the long run

AA vs. KK vs. QQ

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.

Not a good timing :)

After a long streak of rubbish, I picked up some nice suited connectors in early position. Decided to raise 4BB, just for a bit of deception, but the timing was a little bit unlucky . Behind me I saw a reraise and an all-in: easy fold off course! Seemed I was facing two players with some nice pocket rockets.
