Real poker ( i mean cash games) is little luck, lots of skill and patience. Playing online free poker is a lot more luck as ppl. play MUCH different when not going to lose money.

Going all in preflop was the first mistake.

I thought you played it correctly. The raise was a third (and you werenât going to fold) of your stack besides given the flop you know you were going all in eventually.

pocket pairs, i play them mostly on my gut feelings and any one who says they dont is not being honest. that gos with almost any pocket. playing through a game a lot of times it seems that certin cards seem to fall mote than others if you are paying attention you would see this if not dont cry whn you have a bad beat. its pokerits called gambling every hand you play you play it on your gut feeling win lose or draw
play your gut is well advised. Folding bullets at least preflop is the dumbest advice Iâve ever heard!! Itâs the best starting hand in poker by far, just donât overplay it because it sure as heck can lose.

AA has the best chance to win a pot when it is heads up. Any hand that wants to beat AA must get two pairs or better. AA is a very powerful hand in tournaments, particularly on the bubble or in the later stages when the blinds are very high. It is a bit less valuable in ring games, because if you put in a large raise pre-flop to narrow the field, you will often just end up taking down the blinds and nothing more.

Just the latest for me. Pocket aces win nearly every time, pocket kings are the big hand that hasnât gone well lately. Of course with this one I was short stacked, they get beat sometimes, just like aces.
pocket kings have cost me quiet a few chips here lately. in fact it has gotton to be so bad that i am afraid to even play them lol thats bad when you think about folding kk pre flop
Youâre a new player here with almost no chips. I wouldnât be throwing Kings away.

Pocket kings is not a guaranteed winner it is just a pair, but the vast majority of hands will have to come from behind to beat you. If you are in the final pair of a tournament and you are heads up, it is a good hand to trap with and get your opponent all in.
The problem is that although KK is very strong heads up, on RP it is not unusual to have three, four, or five players seeing the flop, which means that almost every possible combination of flushes and straights is covered, so there is a strong probability that KK will be overtaken in post-flop play.
Another way to play it is to limp in and surprise your opponents when you flop a set, or even better, complete a boat on a later street. It will come as such a surprise to your opponents.
However if you are an early position it is probably better to put in a raise pre-flop that will at least eliminate the complete junk hands. Nothing worse than having your KK beaten on the river by J2. If there are early limpers and you raise from late position, they probably still wonât fold.
I always remember a tournament where I limped in with KK and a wiley opponent who was wielding K5 was so happy when he hit a boat on the turn that he shoved in his whole stack. Of course I snap called and he vanished from the table, leaving his chips for me.
Toss the pocket Aces though, got mine busted, again, 2 times today lol.

Sounds like you are not following your own advice.

Of course you should not toss pocket aces. It is the best starting hand you can have if you are in a heads-up situation, but of course it is relatively difficult to improve the hand, and any other hand that is two pairs or better will beat it if it does not improve.
People get this idea that AA is a kind of magical hand, because they have read somewhere that it is 85% likely to beat any other random hand. However this does not mean that it is 85% likely to win any pot, particularly if there are multiple players in the pot. And if you do put in a big raise pre-flop with AA, there is a good chance that your opponent who calls that pre-flop raise also has a pretty good hand, not a random hand. If you raise with AA and you get called and the flop is very wet, then you are by no means an overwhelming favorite and need to proceed with caution.
It is amazing how many people pick up AA, raise pre-flop, and then check it down to the river, and then shove their whole stack on the river, ignoring the fact that the board is flushing or paired.

The funny thing is, usually if you end up turning down the Aces, or call with them and lose, guarantee that someone else on the table will win with them the next time. Itâs all about timing I think, you just have to get lucky with what the board brings.
