No I don't lose that often with the hand (AA) and neither should you if the hand is played correctly pre-flop. I rarely loose as AA is a huge favourite to win at least 82-85% of the time you should win depending if it is a cash game or a tournament and how many players call your raise. You want to be heads up all in or just once caller when you raise pre-flop. I rarely ever limp re-raise or slow play as it is generally better to fast play your premium hands and raise / re-raise so 3/4 bet to narrow the filed and get heads up as you have a better chance of your AA holding up. In a multi way pot your odds of winning with AA decrease significantly as someone spikes two pair or trips/set hence the reason you need to thin the field get opponents to fold those speculative hands or make it prohibitively expensive to continue post flop if you put them on a draw. Good luck. Below is some info from a popular poker site. https://pokerfortress.com/odds-of-winning/

Here Are The Exact Odds Of Winning With Pocket Aces​


As a poker beginner, you might be already envisioning the money made when you look down at your cards and see pocket aces. While it is true that AA will win more often than not, you still need to understand you will not win every time. So how often can you expect to win with aces?
Pocket aces win 85% of the time against one opponent holding the random hand in Texas Holdem. Although the percentage varies greatly depending on the opponent’s hand and the number of opponents. 85% is the odds to win when AA goes all-in preflop. Odds change on later streets.
It might feel unfair when we loose holding the best hand but keep in mind if we are not 100% to win, we will lose sometimes.

Chances of winning with pocket aces preflop

Every time you get dealt a hand in Texas Holdem your odds of getting pocket aces are 1/221, which is roughly 0.9%.
First, let’s check how often do pocket aces win preflop. For better representation, I will take a sample of 100 examples. So next 100 times you receive an AA, 15 times you will lose and win 85 times. Let that sink in, you are supposed to lose 15 times out of 100 times when you go all-in preflop with pocket aces. And that is only if you are up against 1 player. Once you add in more players, your odds in almost all scenarios decrease (only if 2 other players going all in would both hold the same pocket pair, like pocket kings for example, then your odds to win would increase a lot).

I think it is very important how you play your hand from the beginning if you have AA.

Yeah it happens just under half of the time! I always raise big and then assess the flop and if its a dry flop try 7 win the pot there and then

in a cash game I win with AA. In a tournament if more than two players are in then I lose a lot.

Constantly, if more than 3 people go all-in, then the probability that you will lose with AA is 80 percent that you will lose🥺IMG 20230315 222025 234

YES and i hate when it happens specialy in a bounty but it still the best hand in NLH
I’ve heard AK is better. You can get a flush, a straight draw, two high cards, but with just aces you can only get a high card or trips. Nothing worse than losing AA with someone who has low cards and gets the straight.

In fact, pocket aces are an 80% favorite to win the pot against all pocket pairs such as KK, QQ, JJ, and so on. Your pocket aces will often lose in poker, that's a simple fact. And this does not mean at all that the poker room where you play is a scam.But for the most part, pocket aces are a great hand in almost all situations in NLHE, because even if someone flops a strong hand against you, you will almost always have outs (chances to win).I once got AA three times in a row and won with them 2 times.
This is only if you are playing against one player, but if more than two or three players have entered the pot, then your chances are significantly reduced !!! For some reason, some players who lose with AA forget about this tendencia !!!

Not often. Maybe because for me AA is a normal hand and I don't have any problem to fold it

not often, but the worst thing is to raise small and loose against a Big Blinds´ double pair hit on the Flop :)

Statistically you will lose approximately 17% of the time having a pair of aces (against a player) if there are more, obviously the probability of losing increases, in my case I think it's worse hahaha

There is always a margin that you can lose with AA, poker is like that, but it's not a big deal.
