KK Vs 44

[umbe]

OK two times KK I pushed and i get call by 44 I lost with a third 4.
Same tournament a little later KK get called also by 44.
Same thing as above. Was playing at UltimateBet. Is something wrong with KK and 44 at UltimateBet?

Not at all.  That happens often on all the major poker rooms.  Hitting trips and/or sets is the most effective way of being blindsided by someone.  I guess the only way to learn its pitfalls is losts of experience losing against this hand.  Good luck.   :lol:

Still learning the game so you must be right! If you not loose you will never learn how to play effectivly  

[NELLOB]

To a certain degree, umbe, you are right.  However, how you lose is more important than just losing because you made bad choices.  If you get beaten even though you are convinced that you made the minimum errors, then that definitely is a good learning experience.  Good Luck.

Guess I better not play there. I did an all in with my KQ suited and lost to AJ in tonites game. I came in 5th place though, in the money!!!

At a full table of 10 players KK will statistically only win 25% of the time, your odds rise to something like 80% if you can isolate it down to just one opponent, but even then your gonna lose 1 out of every 5 times, all you can do is get your money in with then best hand and hope they don't hit sometimes

And that would be why they call it gambling!

An higher pocket pair is going to lose to a smaller pocket pair 1 out of 5 times.  That's not that uncommon.  Problem is you probably don't realize when the small pair doesn't hit the set because they fold after the flop.

Pair on pair is a problem.  Use the odds calculator on this site and learn what the odds are for matching up any two players with pocket pair.  Do it with three and so on and you will learn just how vulnerable those pocket pairs are.
