I can't believe I lost with trip Aces

[Reverend]

1) I just finished a hand where I lost to a full house when I flopped trip aces. I can't believe it. I have never had a set of aces before and I thought for sure I could win, but the other player had pocket jacks. AARRRGGGHHHHHH. sux

[merkong]

Ouch! Let me guess, did you go all in?

tell me about it Father...i have had pocket aces at least 6 times and only won once (just) - very expensive lessons, pocket aces aint all they're cracked up to be.

[knitemare]

pocket aces are the same as pocket twos....just aces will beat any other pair unlike the two's lol

Sounds about right thats how it normally goes lol...Trust me I've been there

The Key is to examine other peoples betting habbits before you start going all in
Sometimes unless your sure your hand is UNBEATABLE its best to just call.....

[Rooky]

Ouch, but like JohnG said you have to watch how your fellow players play certain hands

[yespleasesir]

It is worth sometimes sitting out a couple of rounds and studying the table and players abit

i went all in with three 8s and i lost to a flush the bad part was i was so happy about the three 8s i never even saw it coming

[maverik]

Yes i think we have all been there at some stage....and that my friend is poker!
