Bad beat or bad play?

This sums up my luck at the moment...but is this just bad luck or did I play badly? This was a $10 2 table SNG. You could say I should have folded, but usually on these SNGs when I get re-raised like this with KK the mug shows KQ or something.

You were doomed the moment the cards were dealt. Nothing you can do about that.

Ouch! Well, it is a 7 card game!

Nothing you can do. Dont try to guess when you are up against aces..you will fold too many winning hands. When this happens you are SUPPOSED to lose your chips. So dont sweat it.

Although the river ace is extra painful here

Awful play, you definately should have fold PF...

Kidding, nothing you can do...

Well thanks guys that's what I hoped! Someone else having AA when you got KK just has to be bad luck, and the positions were the final nail in the coffin - when the BB comes over a button raise like that I automatically think 'oh he just thinks I'm stealing' not 'oh he must have aces!!'

Hehehe I like this quote! Seems to be happening to me at lot this week!

In fact, the way it's going I'm pretty much doomed the moment I log onto a poker site....

I feel for you. I lost 4 straight times with KK over the weekend. Ran into AA twice, got out flopped by A7 and 10/10.

Finally broke the streak yesterday when I got KK and overbet preflop and everyone folded. Not my typical play, but the blinds were big and I had to break my curse.

Very rare anyone can fold KK PF. I have only done it once but 2 other people were in and they were first to act.

Just bad timing

When you have KK preflop you bet everything you got if he's got aces tough break but when getting reraised the only way your ass better be laying that down if you got some xray glasses and see the aces or if your a psychic and know your going to get outdrawn otherwise you bet it all. So the main lesson is your ass needs to hire a psychic.
