I recently added Pokerworld and started off strong.  A few nights ago however i literally lost 4 big tourneys in a row with pocket A's.  How painful it was and even more painful is the sight of my bankroll!!  The buy-ins were all $20 and above so i was hoping for the donkeys to stay away from the suckout hands but there they were catching trips and straights with hands like A 10 and K Q

Hey 'whale'.  That's really bad luck, four tourneys in a row lost because of pocket Aces, wow.  I'm curious to find out how you played each pair.  If you don't mind, let us know.  It would make, for us, a good learning tool to discuss.  Never know, we may all learn something from this.   Hoping to hear from you, thanks.

i'm cheap so i woulda played smaller tournys.  isn't it advisable to only spend a certain percentage of your bankroll on a buyin?  i also woulda ceased after the 2-3rd loss and chalked it up to "not my day"  and waited until tomorrow or next week.
