I must have the WORST tournament luck

[SirFWALGMan]

You are Unlucky. That is how it is with tourneys sometimes. So be it. AK is kind of scary to go all in with if you have a decent stack left. At least try and make your A or K before commiting your whole tourney. I usually 3x-4xBB AK and see the flop. It would have been hard for you to fold to that particular flop, but if Qxx came out maybe you could have walked away.

With AA if your not willing to go all in pre-flop then just quit this game.
