YAH! I finally played AA correctly, despite the appearance of 2 ladies in the middle that I thought was going to lead to disaster once more!

Knocked 2 peeps out and won the game soon after (but doesn't make up for all the AA loses before ;)

Yes, but isn't it also a fact that we are all more likely to LOSE with AA, just for the very reason that we PLAY it more than we would any other hand??

yeah but still AA is the best hand preflop , you just have to learn to fold it sometimes

Yup how typical....

You should fold the first hand of tourny, the hand before breaks and the returning hand after break, you will always loseif you go al-in, it's sod's law

You shouldnt slow play big hands pre flop anyway... That was bad...Thats my opinion. Too many callers on no limit.

I'm so tired of having bad beats like this one that now i played crap hands so when i dont hit somethign i can fold easier than with big cards. I never won with AK suited except against some  bad A 6 or something.

There is too much luck involved. Poker is the only game where fishes can win. That's poker...

AA is a great hand..but sometimes is not suficcient...you need to read your oponnent...

Aces on first hand? It worths much more then on last hand :-))))

When the blinds are small it is difficult to gain max profit with AA. I think the best play to go for preflop all in...maybe there will be a call...

Thats my experience also-lost many times with AA or KK, but its hard not to play them!

hate to criticize  (give feedback...sorry..wasnt meant in a negative manner...)  ...but very needed....never...NEVER slow play pocket rockets pre-flop and not raise....even if you are the SB and folded to you, you just can not do it. By doing this, you give other people, with rags, (sb + bb) able to get lucky, hit 2 pair, get draws, and will call your bets...by slow playing very strong preflop hands...you are looking for people to suckout on you and get lucky, as what happened here....as i always say...would very much rather win small, than lose big

"Criticize" is a negative sounding word - "Feedback" is better, but either way it's appreciated - I have started to play AA a lot more aggressively - it hurts to much to lose on them ;) Wise words indeed!

Man, I hate losing with AA, everytime I get dealt it my stress levels go up quite a bit in anticipation or losing to some random donkey.  Please don't let this donk hit random crap on me.
