I bought into a 2/4 NL home game with $120. I keep bouncing from $120 to $250 because of some lucky fish suck outs. So after 4 hours or so i'm waiting to double up and leave. I have $200 in front of me and look down to see AA sitting UTG+2. I look up and observe the table before I decide how I want to play my bullets. I see the gut UTG+4 look at his cards and then he starts counting out chips for a raise and he has $150 in front of him so I just lead out by raising to $18. The guy beside me (UTG+3) smooth calls. The guy UTG+4 did exactly what I expected him to do. He reraised to $40 so i'm sitting here thinking bingo that's what I wanted. It gets folded around and is now back on me. I reraise all in. The guy who smooth called my raise (UTG+3) sits there for a while and then folds. Then the guy who reraised me called my all in and shows KhKd and I flip over my AhAd. The guy UTG+3 says i'm glad I folded I had KcQc (like I said playing with some fish that were sucking out on me this guy was actually thinking about calling with KQ after a raise, reraise, then all in) so i'm thinking this is great MR. KK has ONE out. The flop comes out 3c 5c 9s now I feel extremely safe with my hand I was a little uneasy at first because I lose with AA all the time. Then the turn comes and it is the CASE KING BOMB and river comes blank.....I LOSE!!!!! After the hand I ask around and nobody folded an ACE.

I say the dreaded AA vs. KK because 8 out the last 9 times i've had AA i've been all in preflop and lost to a lower PP. What are the odds of that happening? So here I am busted again.

After the hand I'm left with a mere $50 the last bit of money I have to my name. So I stay at the table looking to make it back which i've had to do plenty of times. One time when playing 1/3 NL live I was down to $6 and ended up leaving with $500 lol. WOULD YOU GUYS AGREE WITH WHAT I DID IN THIS HAND? I have 9h7h in small blind everybody limps so I pay the extra $2 and see a flop. The flop comes out Kh6h7c. I check everybody else checks then a guy 5 from the button bets $15 guy next to him calls, fold, call, call, and then it ends up on me. I push all in looking to make my flush, two pair or trips knowing that the other 4 people in the pot are going to call. AGREE YES OR NO? So the rest of the hand plays out with a 4c on turn and 7s on river so i'm thinking OK this good considering I didn't put anybody else all in I didn't know what they had. Well it turns out one guy had KK and the other had 66 in the hole so I lost anyways lol.

The way I looked at it was that I had a flush draw with mid pair and was getting 5:1 on my money and the total pot I could have won was around $250-$300 and all I had was $50 so I didn't have enough to do anything really in the game. That pot could have put me back on track and well on my way to making more money.

If you don't like the spot you are in with all the money in preflop against an underpair with one out, quit playing poker and take up another hobby.

I suggest pool, a worse player almost never loses to a more skilled one.

I like the spot i'm in very much. I'm always in that spot not being a donk or ever donking all my money away it just so happens that everytime i'm in that spot I run into a donk at the NL table with tons of chips from being donk lucky who calls my all in with 4 to the flush and makes it everytime or spikes a 2 outer with an under pair. I'm just waiting for the odds to play out in my favor so I can be a millionaire.
