Was frustrated last night to get knocked out of the $7 bodog mtt 7 away from the money when I got my AA in pre-flop vs AKs. Of course, the flop gave my opponent a flush and I was gone out of the money instead of having a decent stack to make a run at the final table.

Of course tonight finds me w AA and two callers to my raise pre-flop. Here, see for yourself:

AA never wins when you bet slightly less than 3x BB. Haven't you ever read Sklansky? Always bet 3x or more with AA or be warned!

...should raise the same amount with every hand, the only differance in the amount u raise preflop hand to hand is your position a the table...big raise=big hand? good idea? no.
