Pair of Aces Heads Up

[DaveduFresne]

Here is a scenario where I lose a lot of money. I raise preflop with pocket Aces and get one caller. The flop is nothing frightening as in QJ10 of a diamonds for example, just your regular rags with maybe one big card say J67 for example.

I bet the pot, my opponent reraises me, and I go all in. Almost always, my opponent shows me a set.

Is this situation avoidable at all assuming chip stacks of both 100 BB's? Or should I just chalk it up to bad luck when it happens?

It seems to me that generally, there are only two times when going all in with aces is profitable. One is preflop obviously. The second is when my opponent is in earlier position than I am, has raised preflop, I reraise him, he just calls, and the flop comes low cards. Then going all in usually gets called by Queens or Kings. Otherwise, I seem to be losing money with them going all in on the flop.

Any tips anyone can give me?

Thanks,

David
