Yes, Aces to get cracked, but 3 times in 1 day is quite enough. The one where I didn't go all in pre-flop, I raised enough from under the gun so that someone with 6,2 won't call. Well, he did and flopped trip 2's. Don't say I didn't raise enough pre-flop. Generally, you'd want someone to call you when you have rockets, then slam them down on the flop. There is a low enough chance they'll hit something better than a pair of aces on the flop anyways so you don't gain a measly pot pre-flop with everyone folding.
These are just some today. I was playing for fun blowing away my money gathering more and more bad beats. (Oh, and don't say looking for bad beats will get you beat. That's just superstition). I might begin to fold pocket aces pre-flop now heh.
I'll be back to play another SNG tournament, and post another example of exceedingly favored hands getting slaughtered by mediocre calls =). I can't cash out anyways, so I'll have to finish the remainder of my bankroll then uninstall.
