The aces they are the strongest pair but not necessarily the strongest hand. When the flop is a dry flop you can be aggressive with the aces, but when stronger combinations occur like straights, flushes, fulls, etc, you must be more careful!

Usually you don't want to be open shoving AA, you want to maximize the value of the strongest starting hand in poker.

It's very painful knowing which pair of cards you have in your hands. Poker is unpredictable, it has been burned many times.

Losing with AA to JJ, QQ, KK or even 1010 is ok, it happens. But being called with 23 off and losing, HMM, makes me angry.

Unfortunately it happens . It's part of the game . You need to be prepared for bad beats and unlucky hands . Part of poker . Move on to the next hand and game

That’s tough luck. Going all-in with AA is a solid move, especially if you’re short-stacked or feel confident in your read of the table. Sometimes, though, even the best hands run into trouble.
If you want to chat about the specific situation—like the action leading up to your all-in or the flop, turn, and river cards—I'm here to help analyze it or just lend a sympathetic ear!

You can talk about what cards you got and go all-in:cry:

I've been in the same situation several times, I've lost an AA against JT and I've lost a KK against an A2 on the river, it's hard to accept, but it's poker, we have to deal with these absurd scenes lol
