i just won £11 against a KK 44 and 35 with my AA by reraising followed by shoving preflop. are you perhaps limping preflop because that is what causes most AAs and KKs to loose as your allowing villians to see the flop cheap and once a villians sees it he then will either fold any bet or do a call depending on ow the board is for him. so your left guessing if he has a pair or two pair but at the same time thinking your hand is too good to throw away.
Playing a DYM game...third hand in I get aces UTG. 3x raise and get two folds and a shove from the button! Snap call obviously and I'm up against AK. Flop comes KKQ.

OMG Shock News "Aces can be beaten" I'll alert the media immediately ;o)
I lost with AA and KK all in pre 5 times in total today, having played thousands of hands HU and seen them hands on many an occasion i can safely say it all averages out, it's unlucky but as you state there is a 6.8% chance of it happening in that spot, so when it does happen, seeing as you seem to have an understanding of probabilities just accept it is unlucky and move on.
In my view the reason so many good starting hands are getting cracked is because sky is a BH 6 table action site.
The big downside to a site that plays as a BH is that the format encorages people to gamble for runner runner.
The upside is if you run good (I have a very distant memory of this) you want these gamberling fools in the pot, just a shame so many of us run so bad for so long so were not seeing the benifit of playing poor players.
I am sure this is why we have seen so many regs no longer play on Sky
I dont expect aces to win every time, obviously. But you have to admit that having them cracked twice in 12 hours (once by a 6.8% suck out and once by a 4 to 1 dog) is fairly unlucky/improbable.
It's unlucky yeah, but actually very likely. Think about how many thousand hands are getting played on here every minute. Chances are someone is getting AA cracked on the site probably once every couple of minutes. It's probably happened again just during the time it took me to write this.
Play long enough and you'll experience much worse.

Look at the Good luck thread in this section........Ryan Spittles exit hand in a LIVE mtt
AJ V AK.......he hits his jack on the flop then oppo hits a king on the river......rigged or what!!!
I'm sure there are ppl who can tell you some unbelievable bad beat tales from live poker......does that make live poker rigged as well????
Turn is a 5 (nice for him)
River is 6 (nice for him)
Except the 6 completed a flush for AJ.
It happens.
