There's a time and place to pushing everyone of those hands, so don't make general statements about such a situational game.

I just lost again with AA against KK in a tournament.
I called someones all-in and he draw a K out of the flop.
What to say sometimes i win with KK in front of AA.
Categoric i will make all-in if many players play the hand or raise big if are just 1-3 players in the hand.

Same thing happen to me last nite, AA vs AA, he gets a flush

if you are upset when you get AA what cards do you want to c when you play poker?i don;t understand...preflop u rule..and if you play correct you cannot loose with AA only in front of bad beat or i front of a stupid lucky player who calls with anything(i mean that for freerolls or small buy ins).AA is the best starting hand so you cannot say u hate that hand it will be just wrong

AA will win more times than lose. I wish I had them every hand. I don't like losing with them, but it does happen. Usually when I get them, if i slow play I lose. Lately if I get them I just go all in and hope for a caller and hope to win it.

Pocket rockets have one big advantage: pre-flop you can be assured nobody has a better hand than you. Even if somebody else has them too, at least it's a tie. I went out in last night's tournament with AA. But I had it until the river when a third king showed up for my opponent. That's when it's out of your control. Luck is always a factor.
I've also won the last hand of a big local tournament with AA. You should have seen my opponent go off on me because I slow played AA. I didn't think he could beat me, and I was right. But he tore me a new one for not going all in. His friends were saying "Dude, she beat you fair and square."
So deal me those Aces any time, any place.

all cards are good until they are beaten. end of story.

They are a frustrating Pair ...only because you feel you should clean up with em. I find I don't die so much with em if I can see the flop first before I go All In, I will send a healthy raise first though.

With pocket aces, especially in ring games is that they are often a win small lose big hand, as laying down pocket aces is one of the hardest things to do. In tourneys I usually do better than in ring games online with em. I lost two big pots with em yesterday in ring games, to awfull hands where I raised 6 times the bb with em the last time to king three, as a second king hit on the river, after the turn I reraised to all in and got called by a dude with about the same amount of chips and wouldnt u know it a second king hits. It can really make you feel physically sick sometimes.

I think beginners tend to over play Aces. If you think about it, all it is, is just one pair. It's the best hand you can have pre-flop, but after the flop I would have no problem laying it down if the texture was too dangerous.
