Aces cracked with that flop is not that surprising. You had a possible straight (AK or K-10 totally possible in that scenario..even K9 would’ve killed you) and a possible flush going let alone the set. Going all in is not going to scare most players off with a board like that if they’re sitting on something. The raise should’ve been an instant red flag.

Aces cracked! Damn!

Been there, it sucks. Not much you can do there. You lay down Aces in this position, helluva read.

I have visions/flashbacks of being the villain, saying “All in.” and being insta-called. Its a sick feeling when you know that your aces have been cracked.

However, that hand right there is exactly why I like to at least see a flop with any pocket pair. If it hits, I’m laughing, if it doesn’t, I can get away relatively easily.

It also illustrates the hero’s button raise, if the blinds have trash they get away and he doesn’t have to deal with the stress of playing a mid or low pocket pair.
