Sorry for the rant, but I really wanted somewhere to post all my "all-in with AA and sucked-out on by some idiot" thread. Got stoned holding AA 12 times yesterday.
Now, it's not always a donkey with 45s that flushes out - there aren't many players that are stupid enough to call a big re-raise pre-flop with that kind of crap (although there are some, and they have an uncanny ability to hit the flop hard). It's usually a smaller big pair that catches a 2-outer.
Here's a lovely example from today:

Is it just me, or does anybody else have a net losing record with AA? I always try to get my chips all-in pre-flop, and try to avoid obvious flush or straight situations when I get called and have to play post-flop. There have been several times when I've folded the best hand, but I'd rather lose small and win big than the other way around. Yet, I've played well over 10,000 hands now, and I still lose more money than I win. Meanwhile, one of my best net-profit hands is still QT, since I only play it from the button or blinds, and only play it after the flop if I hit 2-pair or a straight (or better)... and I quite often find myself getting paid off by somebody with AA or KK or AQ, etc.
