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

Pretty funny, coming from a guy who probably plays video games and downloads porn all day. But still, pretty funny.

Your messing with the wrong guy.

You posted a bad beat story- what did you expect?

I'm not posting a bad beat story, i'm not looking for any sympathy. I want to know if i played it right from the big blind- should i have gone all-in preflop? once he called on the flop, should i have slowed down? (?)=question, thanks for any helpful comments

Correction: Your posting a bad beat story horribly disguised as one that is asking for strategy advice.

I think to myself, "That flop didn't help a guy who raised preflop" and shovel my chips in gleefully.
