More or less I just wanted everyone to know that I lost AA vs KK 4-handed for chip lead in a tournament.

It starts with a "B" and ends with an "eats brags and variance"

[BALLSDEEEP]

[DJ Sensei]

However.. he reraises preflop, the timing is different, the continious shuffle is different, and my AA holds up.

Looks like that turn you were cursing saved you about 70K in chips.

[Dave D]

His river bet is probably a stab most of the time because you showed weakness on the turn. WTF is that turn check?

Push turn. You're pushing for around the pot. It makes sense as a bet, and you're happy winning if he folds. Gahd I hate this turn check behind so much.

Yeah, let's let him fold every hand I beat and call with every better hand!

[WuTank]

I dont think shoving turn is that good.
Obv. a WA/WB situation, but villian is only drawing to 2 outs if he is behind.I think checking turn and calling / shoving river is the better line.
But again me just 4/180 douche.

Dave D,

You used to be a fine poster when 99% of the forum was recreational players and even the good players still sucked compared to now because play in general was 1000x worse two years ago than now.

Now, as a recreational player who has not worked as hard to improve as the rest of the general forum population (just my guess based on how rarely you have posted during the last 9 months or whatever), you maintain a sense of confidence that really isn't justified.

The turn check is not bad at all.

I hope this wasn't too harsh.

Would he really value bet 77-QQ like this? I'd think those hands would check-call for bluff value rather than try to get you to call with a worse hand (what worse hand can you possibly have that will call a bet, seriously). Not to mention that many of those big pairs will reraise preflop.

There IS a reason he bet so small, and it's not to get you to fold a weak made hand. I think you can find a fold here.
