Funny pocket Aces hands
So... I think that AA is one of those hands that results in the most heartwrenching or entertaining hands... so I'm kinda hoping this one becomes a regular topic, and I'll start it off with two pocket Aces hands that I found funny.
The first one is about the worst possible way to play AA pre-flop, post-flop, and (and obviously post-tournament)
Seat 1: rockem x ($5,303 in chips)
Seat 2: Big Slick J ($676 in chips)
Seat 3: bazilrayjac ($945 in chips)
Seat 4: nmartins11 ($1,411 in chips)
Seat 5: xXxFlawedxXx ($5,698 in chips)
Seat 6: buzare2000 ($3,452 in chips)
Seat 7: Potowatami ($6,740 in chips)
Seat 8: Blerg [2S,QH] ($3,045 in chips)
Seat 9: Guppy16 ($2,730 in chips)

Comments
I recently posted a pokerroom hand and had those thoughts then, but now that I'm seeing pokerroom hh's objectively (ie: about hands I wasn't in) I REALLY believe that to be the case. In future, I'm going to revise the format for PR hh's if I post a hand, and it might not be a bad idea for others to do the same.
