I would say that is hysterically funny but then this happened today. Guy to my left opens to about 2200 in MP with KK and BB 3 bets to like 5700 and both guys had well over 50,000 chips. Guy to my left folds to the 3 bet. I was stunned when he told me and then he told the BB who said he had (and showed) AA. What the F? I said to the guy why not just call and set mine for that price? And he said he would get stuck in the hand if the flop was all low cards.
We had two limps with AA today. On one of them the KK guy to my left raised and then folded to the decently sized large 3 bet. He was stunned at his own stupidity berating himself for raising with like AQs. There were so many limps today and people folding to my raises that I had no words.
And the best story of all. The original guy to my left limps UTG. The SB calls. So its 3-way at best. I look down and see TT so I make it 2500. Guy to my left folds. SB folds. Guy to my left tells me he had QQ. He thought about jamming but knew I had a monster. To me a jam would have been silly because we both had more than 22,500 but I mean I didn't say anything. I have never in my life seen somebody limp jam (or even reraise) with QQ. I have seen AA/KK/AK/JJ/JTo (a Parx story that involved two people who knew each other well. The guy called the jam and JTo won the hand). But today was like that.
So I hear you loud and clear. And yet I called anyway. I felt like it was going to be QQ and I was wrong. Its not like I haven't been knocked out with AK vs AA before. Like at least 3 times in senior events.
I think ultimately why i called was that since I have gotten here I have misplayed AK in at least 3 senior tournaments by not 3 betting pre flop. I think I just had it with myself and was willing to get knocked out rather than suffer another AK passive loss.
