AA, not always a winner

[Ando05]

i just dont understand it, i actually lost 8 out of the last 10 times playing with AA, and 4 of those times i was all in.

Well it depends, was it a freeroll or a buyin tourney that you were playing in? Because if it was a freeroll, it is typical for people to make dumb calls and hit 2 pair or a flush when you have pockey aces. However if it is buyin, then that is just bad luck, because usually people dont play badhands when people raise.

That is very very very unlikely, unless of course you had multiple callers.

Keep in mind AA is roughly 80% against another pair -- this means 80% not 100%, so you will get cracked from time to time. 8 out of 10? There's something seriously wrong there.

There would need for there to be at least 5 callers each time to your aces (all with decent holdings) to have that happen (and suppose to happen)

What stakes are you playing at? Whats your table image? How did you play AA preflop? How do you play other nice but not monster hands preflop (AQs etc)
