Everytime i get this hand, i know im gonna lose alot of my stack.

I never win with it. Be it against, low pockets, mid pockets, high pockets, a/j, a/q, or a/10.

Its unreal, seems pretty much anytime i got it, someone calls and lucks out with a better hand, even when i have em off the flop.

Last night in a tourny i was in third place, i get this hand, i bet it big, flop is q k 7, I bet big again, now im about 2/3's into this pot, other guy calls, turn is a J, he bets, i go all in because im so committed now, and sure enough he was sitting on a/10.

Now, if im up against AK i never win Smile whether i have QQ or pocket 2's...

anyone else have my luck with that hand??

Dont get me started on AA. That costs even more money Wink And its not how i play it, someone just dare calls the bet, and somehow lucks out.

There's a reason why they call it big slick. Smile

And, I bet you win with AA more than you think if you're playing it properly (i.e. 1, maybe 2 callers).

Such is my saga with KK. I'm at a point now where whenever I get those cowboys, I really have to talk myself out of mucking them right then and there and playing them like they should be played.
