Aces cracked

I just finished up the 10 pm poker owned tournament over on carbon and I finished in 14th place.
With these po tourneys it seems that it actually gets a little easier as you get deeper into the tournament.
The whole point on posting this is I got knocked after I went all in with a pair of aces. The other guy had 98 diamonds I think and he made his straight. I don't think the guy was a donk because he had a much larger stack than I did, but still to call a raise of ten or more big blinds with 98 suited I think is outrageous.
I feel that made the right move so I'm happy with my performance, I didn't lose because of a stupid play on my part.
BUT MY PAIR OF ACES GOT CRACKED BY 98 SUITED!

shit happens :)

yea PO tournaments are a great way to build a bankroll from scratch

A big pair getting cracked by suited connectors isn't all that uncommon. I however, have had Kings cracked by 83.

I just played the po 10 pm freeroll on carbon and again I go all in preflop and the guy that called had 87 suited.
Once I saw his hand i thought to myself 'its going to happen again' and of course it did.

Well, I took the win in the 4PM today, and did it with AA :D some times, they actually hold up ! However, I agree that if I am to choose any hand to face AA, it would be suited connectors, 10-J and below.

I have them more cracked than uncracked. I prefer AK myself.

don't feel too bad, I just finished the 10pm carbon on the bubble with AA vs their QK.. I hate aces sometimes, damn setup rng slot machine.

I'm not gonna lie that was pretty depressing :0

dang united, that is a pretty bad beat with AA... ouch!!!

Its a freeroll dude..and esp on a Saturday night....expect to get donked...not to mention you paying on merge!

seems to happen a lot out there, especially on bcp now

Get over it. You made the right call, but unfortunately other guy got lucky. Just yday had donk re-shove my raise. He had ATo me AA. Guess who won?! Of course guy with AT. Happens.

But its not free unless you consider your time worthless, so keep thinking its a freeroll when you know it isnt LOL

Well. What they say is "you can either win a small pot, or lose a large pot with pocket aces" lol

well, heres my aces cracked stoey... 1 minute ago with 1 b4 the final table , im a big stack vs another big stack... I raise with AA and he calls with 66. flop comes out 592. i'm all in, he calls with 66 and hits runner runner flush. gross. aces really are hard to play sometimes.

Saturday I was 5 and a half hours into a tourney... I was chip lead with 5 left, top four made entry into the next tournament... I had AA, flop comes out AT7 rainbow... I shove as I already had a pretty hefty sum in there... he calls.. had 22. Turns and rivers deuces for the quads. Few minutes later same guy all in preflop I had AJs against his A7o, he won ofc. Next hand I'm short stack and have 88 shove... he has 66 and gets the set. Some people have stupid luck... it's ridiculous. But yeah, that aces crack was terrible.. then the rest just piled on top of it... to lose out one away after 5 and a half hours and have all the odds in my favour for three hands is quite ridiculous.

pocket pairs of any kind will get you in trouble... I've had my Aces cracked for a big loss myself... it sure sucks.... try going all in with pocket jacks..... you'll get torn up just about every time
