AA busted again

[flavio12]

Playing at a .10/.20 NL table and I have AhAs in late position. I raise to 1.20 and this guy across from me calls. Flop comes Jc Kc Ad. He bets .80 I raise to $2.50 and he goes all-in for something like $ 8. I have about $22 so I call. He shows Q 2 of clubs and manages to catch a club to make a flush on the river. Again, I was fuming.

I don't usually talk about bad beats but I seem to be going through a phase of my trips being beaten by full houses, straights, flushes -anything in fact. I went out of three tourneys in one day with trips!! C'est la vie.

Thats a bad beat but thats just poker you cant win em all my bogey hand is 2pair i always get tempted to bet then get slaughtered,after folding so many times sometimes the patience runs out

Sometimes I hate getting AA. Two days ago i was playing with my roommate, and I got AA. He had 8 9 suited. He raisde, I moved all in and he called. The flop came down 10 6 7. I don't even remember what the last two cards were because I felt like dying.

im one of those lucky people! i think i have only lost with AA three maybe 4 times and each time they haven' been big losses

Unless suited, then you still have work to do, as pocket deuces cover you.

When AA loses it is always going to sting. Especially against people who play trash hands to a serious preflop raise. My suggestion is to keep track of this player. He will make you a lot of money in the long run because he is beyond a donkey.

To loose with AA is always one of the badest way to loose

Normally these guys bring u the cash in the long run.
"Bad beats" happen as often as u give some other players "bad beats". I have stopped to bemoan a loss of such hands, but I revaluate them, what I did right and what I did wrong.

There are a lot of information about the hand missing:
Why the raise to $1.20, have others limped into the pot?
What kind of player is this guy who called u with Q2s, how big is his stack?
From his kind of play, I think its a attemp to outplay u.
With this little overbet ($1.20) I would put u on a vulnerable hand, perhaps 99-JJ. Scarecards would be queens, kings or Aces on the flop. So if he bets out on the flop then he could take down the pot (depending on the playing style of u).
What cards have u played before? Have u been long at the table?

The flop is very scary! With flush and str8 possibilities. The bet of 80cent is more like a feeling bet. But u have hit the top set, so I like the reraise here. Why have u only raised it up to $2.50? With his bet of 80 cent, he only needs to bet $1.70 to get a pot of more than $5. Giving him odds to draw on u.
How big is ur stack at this moment, how many money have u left? With this scary board I would reraise bigger or just flat call, because I have position. If u get ur full house u can be sure u are ahead, if the flush comes u can reevalute ur hand and if a 4card str8 is on the board u must reevalute too.

Also have in mind this player has only $8 left, so if he calls ur bet he is nearly commited. Has he always played "shortstacked"? On what kind of hands would u put him?
