Re-re-raise him before the flop.  Might give you a clue, still don't see how you could fold.

C'est la vie. IMO.

[TightEnd]

Completely unavoidable

[jezza777]

No one gets away from this  and if they do then they arn't playing properly.

[Nem]

The same thing happened to me yesterday.

[Highstack]

Not a chance that you can get away from this.

Heads up preflop and he reraises with Aces, he is lucky that you had a big hand.

I always raise with aces, but never reraise against a single opponent as I want you to pay me for them (ok you got them all in here anyway, but not the point). I would consider his play to be more like QQ and think that I am good here.

will the person who voted avoidable please make themselves known   

[snoopy1239]

My paw is raised.

[Bongo]

How?

I can only think it involves raising again preflop?

If this is the case do you lose more from losing action from weakerhands that may pay you off post flop if you call than you do the times you run into aces? 

[matt674]

i have voted avoidable as i have actually laid down pocket kings preflop during a live tournament (and not a satellite).

The majority of the time i would agree it is unavoidable, especially playing online where you may not know your opponents too well and how they play but if you have a good read on your opponent then it is possible.

Had exactly the same situation the other night - me KK him AA, lost

Glad most think it's unavoidable, i felt bad for a bit !

[NoflopsHomer]

It's unavoidable in almost the same sense that when your AA gets beaten by KK, you have to shrug and move on.

I saw in one of the tournament of champions and Chip Reece called a raise by Phil Helmuth's AA with KK and almost convinced himself to lay it down on, I think, either the turn or the river, but just couldn't do it.

Respect to you or anyone if you can laydown Kings, I can't.

[The Baron]

I'd say it's only avoidable online with HUGE stacks and tiny blinds. (Which never really happens in cash)

Other than that C'est La Vie.

[Junior Senior]

just an hour ago i was deep in an online multi and had the same coup against the chip daddy. - he raises, i re-raise all-in, he calls. - c'est la f***ing vie.  difficult to get away from especially when the chip average has only 10 BB's!  In a cash game its different but still largely unavoidable (you could have re-popped him preflop then if he goes all-in you can fold).

[snoopy1239]

I knew he had the aces,  I had a feeling in my gut, but I just couldn't stop myself from moving all-in.

My heart said fold, whilst my brain said, 'He could have queens or jacks.'
