Listen everybody is loosing hands with AA and not only on PokerStars but in all existing sies on the web.
AA is just a pair and could be beat very often. However i understand that it is never funny to loose hands with big pocket pair especially AA but its happening to everybody.
If you cant loose sometime i will tell you the same of the above post.

It's poker it happens just deal with it. AA is not a guaranteed hand to win.

true AA Hu oods are around 80% but where playing an HU game or a full ring game?
You can find i little difference there cause there could be another ace rag that folded so you are left with one out its no more 80%.
Also there is the 20% that could win any time. We always remember the bad lost hand more than the one that we have won. I am pretty sure that you won your AA with a very percentage of time. And surely dont loose 80% of them.
Other day I was playing live in a 9 men 20$ SnG. With 5 left and blinds being huge (we all have shallow stacks), I get KK on the button. Dealer misdeals a 7 of clubs so we all know theres a 7 missing in the deck. Everyone folds to me, I raise to 2x, SB folds, BB raises all-in and has me covered (not by much). Of course I snap call. He shows 7-2o and says "I thought you were bluffing" LOL. Flop 7 3 2 and I didnt catch set/higher 2 pair later in the hand. He was at 11% pre flop, less if you consider the missing 7.
It was a sad play but I couldn't be angry since he did exactly what I wanted him to do. But that's poker, live or online, you need atleast a bit of luck to win.

I guess everybody is right here in arguing, that one should not complain about loosing with a pair of aces against an obviosly weaker hand. But lets be honest guys, although we are complaining about others complaining but if it happens to us we are also complaining.

Yes you will lose with AA, so we all lose with AA... and you must get used to it... that happend and it will happen all the time!!! I even see countless time I got like 95%+ chance on turn to win pot and magical river apears and slip away mine pot... Ofcourse I feel bad and frustrated, but I always accept defeat... If I am pissed off a lot than I stop playing for a while bcs if I think about that bad beat that will put me on tilt, and I will lose a lot more than that pot... So dont be impresed when you lose with AA... it happends and it will happend!!!wish you best of luck!!!

When you get dealt AA on a 9 seat table, you're straight odds of winning the hand are 19% and the other 8 players have a 10% chance... That isn't a massive difference, and really shows the importance of thinning down the field preflop...
My stats for Aces are very consistent - 100% PFR, 100% 3-Bet, 100% 4-Bet, 100% C-Bet... I don't try anything fancy with them, just raise every chance I get, with the hope of always getting all in preflop.
It's my biggest winning hand in SNG, MTT & Cash for % won, blinds won, chips won and cash won... Winning 92% of the time.
It's the easiest hand in the world to play... and also the most commonly misplayed...

well,wel,well,here comes the situation when u really need to call or shove AA.fisrt thing u put in mind is to able to reach bubble play.before calling a big stock.it insures that even if you lose u still got the best hand preflop.while aa on cash game sometimes sick if yur playin to a small stock it hurts but,poker anyways
