I was playing in a small tournament online.

One player has 6600 chips, another has 650. The 650 goes all in with KJ, the 6600 calls with AA. The KJ makes two pair.

The AA comments about how much that sucks.

But does it really? I mean, how are things different after the hand than they had been before the hand. The AA lost less than 10 percent of his stack, the KJ doubled up but 2 times a small number is still a small number.

So what really happened? Nothing.

An opportunity to bust a player wasn't realized but we weren't close to the bubble, so that probably had little to no effect either.

It's not a big deal, but it's just a small example of people focusing on the cards instead of the situation. He got his AA drawn out on. But it meant nothing, it had no effect. If he'd have won the benefit to him would have been very small.

Some things really just don't matter. AA or not.
