[B]Connor Drinan all-in pre-flop against Cary Katz, turns out both are holding Pocket Aces.
Four hearts hit the board, giving Katz a flush, and Drinan was knocked out of the tournament.

All-in pre-flop with AA? Not much to say here - 
Yet some of Drinan's backers say he could have played the hand differently to save his tournament seat.

And while that is true;
I suppose most books on poker would say - [I][SIZE=5]bet'em and [/SIZE][/I][SIZE=5][I]bet'em BIG[/I]  - [/SIZE]to keep odds on your side- right?
And What about Scared Money Never Wins?

What do you say to convince backers that you made the right play?
Not much to say here either;
IMHO / There are three ways to play [I]ANY [/I]poker hand -> Slow, Let's see and Fast!
And yes AA is included.

To the rational backers who know slow playing AA often leads to a loss - I'd say thanks for hanging with me ....
To the 'furious' backers - Id say the chips needed to go in sooner than later - if you don't think I made the right decision - C'Ya.

Yes, those two hearts on the flop would have created a flush threat but hitting the turn and river only proves:

Good Luck All from Gary Heart[/B]
