why does KK always doom me????

[esmordan]

What am i supposed to do start laying down KK late in big tourneys? Once again i made it deep in the 750k this week (along with the BRAWL) and i get KK in middle pos. i have just under 25k in chips ...2ndpos limps in for 2k (blinds 1k-2k) 3nd pos raises to 7k ..it gets to me and i can either call and let a bunch of players in behind me or raise but if i raise i have to push otherwise wont be able to protect my hand after the flop.. so i push allin for 24k and its folded around to the button and he calls my allin with A9s and everyone else folds including limper n raiser..

Flop comes out nothing and he turns and rivers a wheel... thats the 2nd week that KK has taken me out (took me out 33rd in 1.5mill vs 99 last sunday) and it also took me out of the doubleduece just short of the money earlier today. I mean am i really supposed to start laying down KK in this pos,, thats something i would never do but just venting due to the frustration ive faced last sunday and this sunday in these big tourneys with KK.

Just seeing anyones imput. but i placed 133rd for $494 in brawl and 236th for $484 in 750k both outs to suckouts allin dominated...

This is only one grain of sand on the whole beach of poker.
You are playing awesome and I am glad we are here for you to vent and feel better.
Now get back in there and play those Kings the same way.

thanks ringo haha it was a vent post haha thanks again...its not like i would change how i play then haha

Yep no prob... please post your vent posts here rather than go tilting and lose your actually poker cash (which is something i tend to do often sadly). I have hands like that, my hand is actually JJ. That may be due to the fact that i just dont play it right, but even when i do i take the beatings like you do with KK. It even transitions over to live games for me. Lost over $400 on one hand to a 2 outer against me when i had JJ as over cards. Oh well, im sure a lot of times you win with KK and i win with pocket jacks and we always say that is justice when we win and we dont remember them when complaining about how much we lose with them all the time lol. Just want to say though, and im sure i speak for a lot of people here. We feel your pain, and if you need to post something like this again to rant, go right ahead! hahaah

Well ya gotta play,once at paradise they cost me about 4 good finishes in a row,sometines ya know..Keep playing them bud they will get better for ya,I mean you can't fold em,can ya.......

[PANAMHIEST]

Well you still had great finishes for some good cash, so not all was in vain. I wouldnt fold KK, just maybe see s flop and judge the action then to see if it is worth hitting the rail for then,or winning. Try some different styles of playing it ,and see if it gets better for ya. Better luck next time!
