cant count the amount of times I've busted out of a tourney by getting KK in preflop.. I try these days to NOT get all the chips in pre unless I hold AA, I def want to see a flop with KK first..
But sometimes cant be helped, rare occasions you gonna lay it down to a re-raise pre flop..

Yeh. Nearly impossible to get away from that, it's good to see the flop so if there's an A its an easy fold.. But if its 10 high, you have to assume they dont have AA, you gotta play to win.. /UL

Ok thistime he had AK and cant say he did wrong pushing with less than 10bb as its hard to slowplay AK in that situation, but what irritates me is that always those frogs are on my way sucking out most times very important pots.

Oh well keep the faith and im sure you can make it......maybe. But if you play in enough then im sure your lucky day will come and you'll run deep..... Try not going all in with your KK (if thats what you did?) Big tournys are soooo hard to win when your over 1000+ entries....its tricky.

if you get them all in preflop the Ace appears, if you see a flop, there will be an ace or your opponent wont pay you off. Thats the business

Last month i've played in a tourney where i qualified through a freeroll on partypoker. The first 2 players in this tourney have won a 10k$ package to a live tourney in London. I've made it to the final table in this one but got busted with AKs on the flop AQK......with 6-7 BB left i move all-in on that flop and my oponnent instant call ....he had......KK ....on the turn i got a flush draw but the river didn't helped and got me out on 8th place ....i needed 2-3 days to recover mentally after that
in the scoop i was doing just fine with i think it was 25000 runners. I got myself a pair of Ks and as always got all excited and guess what i run into As 
awe well better luck next time i hope 
i finished about 1000th in that one. I thought i would share this with u lot as ive no one else to tell im gutted at this time
