ok,feeling a little sick right now

after having got my third AA bust in mtt's while cruising along ok

Is the correct strategy to get em all in preflop if u can? even if ur V deep stacked?

all 3 times ive lost to underpairs ( all 3 got em in preflop ) and i think my poker brain has reached meltdown

lol..not a fair question mate..it was more of a bad beat moan than anything else, no? If you don't want to get all your chips in pre-flop with Aces anymore I would suggest taking a break from poker for a few weeks as you're not thinking clearly.

Game of luck? Perhaps - some people just seem to be born with luck and the rest of us have to work at it.

I have a mate who just can't win with AA, he doesn't play often as he's generally skint but hey he likes to have a go every now and then.

First time he hits in one of my tourneys he slow plays, hits    on the flop, the player to his right makes a reasonable raise so he throws his chips in only to find he's playing  . Doesn't hit anything and out he goes.

Asking what he did wrong we suggested that maybe if he had gone all in the guy would have folded.

Anyway, next time he hits AA he immediately goes all in and gets called by  , yes you guessed it - a  hits and out he goes again.

Third time he plays half his chips and gets called by an open ended straight draw which of course hits leaving him well confused and not knowing if he should ever play AA again.

What do I tell him?

you know you will win 80 times out of 100, so now you only have 16 more beats to take then you will have 80 consecutive wins to look forward to. Wink
