I have no problem with them - definitely agree that there's some degree of selective memory at work. Not to mention that there's a good chance that with a nice pre-flop raise you're going to be getting folds all around pre-flop or on the flop, so there's less chance of scooping up a big pot.
As the saying goes about AA: "win small pot, lose HUGE pot." Just how it goes sometimes when they do get cracked. Couple of nights ago, I was playing on PokerRoom micro-limit cash game and I had bullets twice over the course of a five-hour session. 1st time - got cracked by an up-and-down straight draw from the flop that hit on the turn. Raised pre-flop and followed it on the turn. Let it roll off my mind and put me on tilt as there was no way my opponent was folding depending on my bet and the way he/she was playing. 2nd time - picked up small pot after the flop after putting it up 5x BB pre-flop with 2 callers.
All I can do is pretty much tell myself "that's poker" and move on....
Happy Christmas and New Year to all and good luck on the tables!
