Default Re: Some of these guys are your opponents

In a tourney last night I got AA in the BB.

We were down to 139 players from the original 376 and the blinds were 50/100

1 caller, 1 raised, one called the raise. I was slightly below average but moving well so I moved all-in figuring either to match up against AK, a lower pair or just grab the pot. Everyone folded but the SB who called w 9 8s.

The 9 paired on the flop and the 8 at the river thus killing 90 mins of decent tourney play.

I didn't go Helmuth or anything but I did wish the caller a short and dissapointing tourney.

Was I wrong to go all-in there? I've also heard some Tv comment that AA wins about 60% of the time from before the flop. How does one get a figure like that?
