Pocket kings

edited January 2010 in Poker Chat
I always play pocket kings agressively. Yesterday in 5.15pm deepstack I was doing really well and was dealt pocket kings. I checked to induce a bet which I new would come from late position, I re-raised putting the other guy all in, he called and fair enough he had pocket aces and won the hand. THREE hands later I was dealt the other two kings so went all in straight away. Lo and behold I was called again with pocket aces and was out of the tournament. Firstly did I do anything wrong? Secondly how would you have played them?

Cheers,

Craig

    Hi mate, welcome. You did nowt wrong, just got cold decked twice.

    Try this one, it happened to me on another site...

    It was a $11, 45 seater turbo.

    The very first hand, I got AA. You get some mad players in these tourneys so I went all in. No callers, got the pot (dang).
    Second hand, AA. Same move, same result (double dang).
    Third hand, guess what AA again. Same move, called by 72 off. Flop 222. Hat, coat, out the door.

    Wow, pretty crazy stuff, the most crazy being the thinking of 72 guy.

    "Wow, this muppet's gone all-in 3 times in a row. Right, let me show him and the rest of the table what a great player I am by calling off my whole tournie with 7 high, i've gotta be live right?".

    Exactly my thinking. I knew I'd be getting called pretty light, but..........
