I am 44% ITM over 150 20+2's, but am in the middle of horrible downswing and it feels like i can't do anythying right, even with big pocket pairs. In this situation, i usually try to get value out of the Aces late in the tourney so i put in raises that will be called but lately have been getting killed on the flop. After he called the flop bet, i thought i was in trouble but was hoping he also had an overpair. Anywho, how should i have played the Aces in this situation? thanks
