I was at $214 dollars when I got dealt pocket aces on the button. The person who was 2 seats before me raised the BB to 15 and the next guy called. I reraised to 51. Everyone folded to the inital raiser who put me allin. Of course I called. He had pocket aces and I had pocket kings. Flop comes K, low card, low card, turn comes A, river comes K. My trip aces got busted by quad kings. I wanted to know if anyone knew the odds of trips losing to quads like that cause I have played thousands of hours online and hundreds of hours at live tables and have never seen anything like that.

I hope this is a troll, because OP is retarded.

I just came back from Las Vegas in total shock from what happened to me at the poker tables.
It was my first visit to Las Vegas after being 21.
I had been playing regularly at the 2/5 NL tables at an Indiana casino before I went to Las Vegas.
On Sunday, August 27th it all happened.

I had just bought into the 1/3 NL table for $200 about a half hour before. I made it a point to play tight since my aggresive play from the previous day had not worked and earlier this day I had suffered another horrendous beat which I will explain later. I was at $214 dollars when I got dealt pocket aces on the button. The person who was 2 seats before me raised the BB to 15 and the next guy called. I reraised to 51. Everyone folded to the inital raiser who put me allin. Of course I called. He had pocket aces and I had pocket kings. Flop comes K, low card, low card, turn comes A, river comes K. My trip aces got busted by quad kings. I wanted to know if anyone knew the odds of trips losing to quads like that cause I have played thousands of hours online and hundreds of hours at live tables and have never seen anything like that.

While that was my worst beat, earlier that day I had pocket aces and a stack of 430. Other guy with about 300 had AK suited. At 1/3 NL tables I raised to 21 which got 2 callers. Flop came K73 rainbow. I bet out 50 after the flop and the guy with AK went allin. I thought about it for awhile and did not think he would go allin with the set so I called his allin. He showed his AK and turn comes a K and river a blank. The guy who sat next to him said he folded a K so the case king beat me there too. These beats cost me over 500 dollars. Overall, from this day and the previous day I had lost 1200 dollars and dont know how I can recover from these beats.
I am back at college now and still thinking about how I dont lose all my money from those 2 hands I lost with.

Dude, I was at your table for a little while, two to the right of the guy with like 14 racks.

I remember your AA/AK hand. It happened like at 10 in the morning, right? I also remember you overpushing again and again when you got like under 50 BBs. Don't take this the wrong way, but from your table demeanor, body language, and general play, you're not that good. Work on your game.

I thought this was a poker forum, not a 300-level english class. Oh, and scorpion, you must play by feel, because you sure as hell dont know anything about statistics if you think aces full losing to quads happens on a regular basis in poker.

It's not, the site that OP plays at is obviously rigged.
I would suggest writing to support and ask them to turn the doomswitch off!

I was overpushing when I was down to under 100. With the low stack I had, I had to push hard so only good cards would call me. Someone would raise to 15 before me, and I would get dealt pocket 8s. I dont see anything wrong with reraising allin with a stack of 80 when I get dealt that hand against a raise. I am not just gonna call a raise there.

That sounds like sound strategery to me!

You should have folded aces in those situations. I agree with all the above posters, you are a donk sir. There is no shame in folding aces preflop, you aren't always the favorite. You would know that if you read chris moneymaker's book "sound poker strategy from a proven winner" instead of Birdman's autobiography "I Never Fold."
