Pocket kings into aces

[sanekhorror]

In the afternoon, I was often thrown such a KK setup in AA because of this, I did not reach the first place, although there were huge chances to win, I was so angry why when you play everything well, and then you have a bang and a setup, now I think I need to force myself to throw off the KK.

This situation is rather rare, but often my kings flop a set

i ran into AA while i had KK in a little tournament and caught a K on river sometime later the exact same thing happened and i won the tournament... good luck that night

The chances vary depending on how many people are dealt into the hand:

One opponent - the odds are 0.49%
Nine opponents - the odds are 4.3%

Here's the working out to prove it:
There are 50 unknown cards left (you hold 2 kings), and your opponent needs both aces.

• Number of combinations of 2 specific cards (like AA) in 50 cards:

So:
~0.49% chance a single opponent has AA when you have KK (in heads-up play)

Now let’s check the probability that at least one of multiple opponents has AA. This is where things get spicy.

We use the complement rule:

• First calculate the probability that no one has AA
• Then subtract from 1

For example, with 6 opponents:

• Probability one opponent doesn’t have AA = 1 - 0.0049 = 0.9951
• Probability none of the 6 opponents have AA = 0.9951^6 = 0.9709
• So the chance at least one opponent has AA: = 1−0.9709=0.0291 or 2.91%

This happens from time to time. This is part of the poker and there is no need to worry about it.

Never fold KK, just a bad luck if opp has AA

It's not normal, at least if we talk about the chances of that happening, those three times you had very bad luck or they were very good

Kinngs is the best for me. Every time i win with ace's.

This is a rare event to happen, you can be sure that it will take a while for you to repeat it...

Yes, running pocket kings (KK) into pocket aces (AA) can feel surprisingly common, especially when it happens multiple times in a short stretch — but statistically, it’s quite rare.
