shoot, i've lost with AA so many different ways now but you are right. Most of the time I try to slowplay them they get beat. If I go all in with them lol.. sometimes they get beat... They are like any other 2 cards. They can be beat.. especially in a muli-way pot or a drawing board will get them beat too.
Timing is everything.. Better luck next time and thank you for flying American Airlines :)

no dought AA will get cracked at times, in lower level buyin's and freeroll, but when I have the wepons I like to use them if I win the hand, great, if I lose, good, heck Ive got that loss hand behind me...their are a lot of poor poker skills,that you don't see as much of in higher stake tables and tourneys, raises seem to be more respected for the most part, not allway though, some are just addited to action...you will notice your suited connectors and Ax think twice about calling raised pot,
In low level buyins and freerolls, you will be called by many different kinds of hands, and knowing how the players play, and your position are the most important factor in this level..A lot of time I just make them make their choice THEN AND THEIR!!! if they want to call me, and try to outdraw me fine. And other times, if first or second to act, I just make a small raise preflop, that way I can withdraw from the pot if see needed postflop, or even limp BUT VERRY SELDOM, lookin for a reraise, it doesn't really matter at this point how you play them, but if you want to win, you haft to make the final table..AA is preflop nut, but you will lose with them, but I ashure you the will pay off in long run..ONLY THING THAT CAN BEST STATS. ODDS & PRECENTS, IS luck, NO WAY AROUND IT...
ANOTHER PLAYER WROTE THIS, IM GOIN TO SEND IT THOUGH:::
How many times have we all heard people complaining about losing with AA. "I always lose with aces" or "I hate aces" are just a couple of common things I have heard people said. The truth is AA is the best starting hand in Hold’em poker, and we should all love to see them. Some people convince themselves that they are going to lose a big pot when they see those two bullets in the hole. There are some underlying reasons why we hear these people complain, and it's not because they are more unlucky than anyone else who sits down at a poker table. Here are some reasons some of these PLAYERS will complain about losing with them.
When you have two aces pre-flop don't forget there are still five cards left to come. You have only seen 2 of the 7 possible cards to make your hand. To some people, mainly beginners that doesn't matter. When they get aces they are going to play them till the end no matter what.
The value of aces drops significantly when you take a flop against five or six opponents instead of only two or three. You can't be surprised when your aces are cracked when a lot of players see the flop.
Some players will try to get too tricky so they can win a big pot. If you decide to limp with AA you better have a darn good reason for it. It can be good to limp when there is a player constantly rising pre-flop. That sets you up for a big re-raise where you can take the pot right then or take the flop against probably only one opponent. This play can easily backfire if nobody rises when you limp, which can set you up for a big loss if you're not careful.
Stack size, position, and table image of all opponents and yourself are a factor in any hand. If you have a weak table image somebody may try to run you over and in doing so crack you aces. It sucks but, if you don't have a good idea of what your opponents think about you then you can't play AA in the best way.
These are just a few reasons why people will lose with AA and still have the nerve to complain about it. There are many more and these are generalized. But next time you lose a big pot with aces look at what you did in the hand. Sure we all get unlucky sometimes, but if feel you are constantly losing with aces there is probably a flaw in the way you are playing them

For some reason As suck online, I have slowplayed them I have went all in I have played them with big raises and no matter what i bet i am only 25% win with them. What we have to remember it is still just a computer program, random isn't real life random. because at the real tables I am probably 75% win with them. So good luck with pocket As, give me pocket 3s anyday. lol
