    Default Limping AA's preflop and then calling multiple all ins

    I'm assuming there's nothing I can do about this, but did I play this wrong, should I have raised pre flop? My thinking was that at least one or two people were raising every round anyway so I'd just limp and then re-raise them.

    Should I be afraid of sets? I mean with all the likley pp's I'd imagine the chances of someone hitting a set is quite high. Should I have folded these?

    Perhaps you should consider moving up to the 210 fpp mtt's where they respect your utg limp/calls?
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    Yeah just unlucky. I've just run AA's in PS against 3 90% ranges and it's still a 61% favourite.

    Lol Lucky your a joke. Seriously, forget poker and do comedy. You say you ran AA against 3 90% ranges. Ummmm wtf? Why the hell do you think their range is 90% of hands?? yeah I know you suck and are playing with donks (you fit right in there), but they aren't pushing/calling with 90% of hands there. Sorry.

    it was an extreme, like worst case so it's 90% or better, this is a fpp tournament beleive me they could well be calling with 90% of hands from what i've seen, and thanks for the negativity it just fuels my desire to do well

    Well shit slevin if negativity fuels your desire to do well, you would think you would be crushing it right about now huh?? Yet that's not the case is it?

    Btw you are doing really well on your goal of losing 100k in two years. I've always heard the first 1k is the hardest to lose. Keep it up.

    Limp reraise pre with aces is a donk move but, unfortunately, somewhat popular with the fish at low stakes. Any decent player will put you on a monster because it's so transparent. Yes, you'll sucker some people but in the long run you're just better off making a standard raise pre. If you limp and get limpers behind you're just opening the door to weaker hands hitting the flop hard. Raise to thin the field and build the pot. The more opponents you face the lower your win %.
