Btw I didn't go through the motions of raise reraise raise all in because when someone raises that high in a 1 dollar tourny they aren't going to lay anything down.

How is this a bad beat? Aces had you before the flop, and they rightfully won after the flop.

I know a lot of people think that it sucks to have bad beats in poker, but if you ask me I would rather not have situations like this where you have a really good hand like KK and someone has AA and there is no possible way for you to know that you are beat because someone could raise with a low pocket pair or something like AK.

obviously its not a bad beat, just an annoying situation. It happens often though, I just thought it was worth sharing because it was AA vs KK AND QQ.

I don't know where else it would go.

These hands are interesting.

Exactly whyI hate your reasoning.

I always take the raising in stages because it lets me know where they stand. Now I'm not saying I lay this down, but as the old adage goes, always leave yourself an out. But giving myself the chance to lay it down would be the correct move in my opinion, and I can't chastise myself for overbetting the pot without giving myself a way out.....

but as beav said... that result was pretty much inevietable.
