Isn't that the truth. Bullets are fine but care still needs to be taken with them post-flop. Bet heavy pre-flop but be ready to give them up later, if need be. They are not an automatic ticket to victory.

Wohoo, just got dealt AA in a freeroll on poker stars. I'm second to act preflop. First guy folds, I raise to 500 (blinds 25/50), everybody folds except BB who calls.

Flop came; Ac 8s 3d

BB checks
I check, hoping to get a raise on the turn

Turn card: 10s

BB bets 400
I raise all-in (900)
BB calls and shows K3s

River card: Js - surprise!

You just gotta laugh

i don't know what you all are thinking. AA is the strongest hand in the deck. I will take AA over AK anytime. you may lose many pots with AA but you will lose 3 times as many pots with AK. Good luck.

Everyone hears "Best" or "Worse" starting hand and thinks that if they're dealt to them its easy sailing from there on out...lulled into a false sense of security by the most statistically sound starting hand.

The trick is playing your opponents not YOUR cards...too big a for their cards and you buy the blinds, to small and we have people who shouldn't be let into the hand seeing cards for cheap.

Read your opponents and make decisions based on their hand strength.
I agree whole heartedly

To avoid bad beats, I fold AA preflop. It saves me headaches. And AK is just a drawing hand, so that usually goes in the muck, too.
