15 person tournament and we are down to 8. UTG moves all in for $2300 and I have AA. I move all in over the top for $3200. Then a guy in late position moves in for $2700. Both blinds fold. UTG has Ad Qh and other guy has Jd Ts. Well after 4 running diamonds come I have $500 chips left. I lose the main pot and the side pot and go out a few hands later when my AQ is outdrawn by K9. We were paying 4 spots so my question is is there any chance you ever fold there? All the guys said that's a bad beat and so on. Well no kidding sherlock. Just wanted some advice. I'm sure in my gut it's the right play but now I'm second guessing myself since I lost. I know bad beats happen and I've had them happen on the good side for me too but this one really beat me down.

AA - 74.1%AQ - 10.2%TJ - 15.6%Nah, I think you should wait and find a better spot to get your chips in.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I question myself just because I think I can get into the money everytime I play with the group I play with. I tend to get sucked out on a lot when I go in before the flop. I didn't realize the odds were quite that good though. Now I feel worse. lol

Come, you should have folded that since you got beat by running diamonds. Isn't that obvious???Note--for those that don't know, that's me being sarcastic. I've been accused today of giving results-oriented advice. Too funny.Seriously, if there was ever a black-and-white "correct" play here, you made it.

why would you doubt yourself here? you had AA and were forced all in... it sucks to lose the supersatellite example (you can search for it) is the only time u ever fold aces.
