Well now that I have your attention.The Answer... Drumroll Please>>>>>>>>>>Anytime you are playing at Pokerstars and You have 2 raises all in to your 1200 half stack bet preflop.Of course we have all lost with AA before, you cant win them all, but how about this one. 18 person 2 table sng. down to the last 6 players. I am currently in the BB with about 2700 I am dealt A
A
.Blinds 100/200 25ante....Button calls 200, SB raises to 400, I make it 1200Button goes all in about even with my stack. SB goes all in with about 6000 in chips so our 2800 still leaves him with healthy stack if he loses.So here I am pondering laying down AA. Thinking I have played here for roughly 18 months and seen some pretty bad beats with AA. But said what the hell hoping they both had AK... well when the cards are turned over I am pretty happy.Button has K
K :heart:SB has A
K
chances are slim that another KING will fall and no one is suited so I am really happy at this point. I know what you are thinking and let me tell you now, there was no King on the board by the end. It is much better than that.flop comes 2
3
6
I look around and see both the King and the A of hearts in my opponents hands... Turn comes 3
I am yelling at the monitor not another heart you mother#@#$#$River comes 5
................... Worst hand in play wins.ahhh I JUST LOVE POKERSTARS...........I must say that I win the sng's there often, but lay down many monster hands preflop with more than one huge raiser or all in. Randomness is one thing, but the crazyness that I see there on a regular basis takes the cake.

you're gonna win that 85 times outta 100...I can't think of a better situation to push. You're a huge favorite to win...and if you lose, no biggie...can't win em all. Its just a sng anyway.
