    C'mon bags. You know the answer. Post some hand histories. How the hell does anyone here know why you lost with your AA? If you just need to vent, do it in River Rats. If you seriously want help, post a hand history.

    Pre-flop play is only the first step in playing winning poker. When you have good starting cards, its very easy to overplay your hand after the flop even if you didn't hit anything. You need be willing to fold your cards if you still don't have anything after the flop and someone else is betting.

    There are lots of other variables, as well....
    - How many people stayed for the flop?
    - Did anyone raise pre-flop?
    - Did anyone raise post-flop?
    - What position are you seated in?
    - Do you have the nuts?

    When playing at this level, you'll find that people will chase after any draw. This will lead to lots of suck-outs. As a result, your hand needs to be even better to keep calling. Also, don't try to be fancy. Most of these players can't be "tricked" or "bluffed" since the probably are just playing their cards anyhow.

    Post some Hand Histories and you'll get lots of great feedback.
