How do you figure on improving this? You got all your money in pre-flop with the absolute best hand. Sure, the jackass calls with absolute shit and sucks out on you. Not much you can do there mate. Kick some kittens and get back at 'er. Just unlucky.

Is this post serious? LOL...

How about if I go ahead and move it to the Bad Beat section before too many people see this and rip you apart for posting this as if you are asking for advice.

P.S. Fold preflop.

Minraise every street.

But it sucks soo much, to lose I was tight all the tourney and didnt get any pairs or AK, except for a 22 where its flop went AA ,
What I meant as in a SNG my cash will greatly multiply as I improve my finish from 4th to 3rd.
Improving this is by not playing it, and waiting for some1 to lose. MB call the PFR ? and see the flop 1st ?

Dude. You had AA and were short stacked. Put it all in already!

I mean, if you had just called preflop, what were you going to do - check fold the flop???

If you are playing in hopes of sneaking into 3rd place, you have no business playing.

Sometimes when you know you are going to lose with the nuts, you just gotta fold. That's the true key to winning at poker.

Word... fold preflop. Duh.
