Shit happens. More often at Carbon/Ipoker than others.
if it is a all-inn preflop you are ahead anyway, so it is not a bad beat...kk qq jj kan be coin flips if the opponent has the ace
I find that peeps who go all in with AA everytime are the ones who complain EVERYTIME they don't win. AA is the best STARTING hand sure, but no guarentee. Consider mixing up your game a bit. Me. I'll go ALL-In with AA maybe 50% of the time, raise/re-raise about 40%, and limp 10%. The later 40/10 split depends on the aggresion of my oponents. Of course my goal is still to get as many chips into the pot as possible.
For what it is worth, I Rarely loose with AA, or even KK. What it is more I think I have refined my style such that I almost never take a bad beat with AK anymore. QQ, and JJ? Well they still give me a hard time. 10-10 is a situational push for me. Any PP below that really REALLY depends on position, stack sizes, and table trends.
JJ even JJJ is definately my bad luck hand. Seems I lose everytime I count on a Jack. Sometimes the opponent tears me up with Jacks. I'd rather stay in with 7 2 than anything to do with Jacks. The pocket Aces haven't proved to be 50% or better either. More like 35% success.
Best to never donk all-in on pockets pre-flop. No matter what the combination.
