you are the one with AA in the hand bet everything, waiting for a hand to see if you see what your opponent will do, I already bet everything and I have lost several times for it.

No matter what your starting hand is, AA included, no hand is invincible. There’s no hand I’d rather I have than Aces. Your a huge favorite and in the long run you will more than you lose. That being said if the pot is very big I still will have nervous energy especially if I’m facing elimination. I think we all have had some let downs with AA that leads to having some nerves.

Yes, I think about it, that has happened to me several times, I have AA, I go all and in the end I lose with such a strong hand. It's a hand I call a double-edged sword.

Fun fact - :as4: :ac4: has less than a 50% chance of winning pre-flop in a 4-way.

If you are short stacked, just go ahead and shove. Otherwise, play the hand and see what happens. AA is a good hand but you have to know when to let it go. Most people tend to play it very aggressively to not give free cards and end up bad beat.

Loss with a pocket hand AA is perceived painfully. A pair of aces is good only preflop, the situation on the flop can change. But the pocket pair AA is the most profitable hand on the distance.

I love Aces but it depends on the situation. I have won several pots with them and I have been burnt by them. As others have said, you just have to know when to let them go. :)

Hello.
With such a pocket pair, I always play aggressively. It is not a matter of courage. You always need to make the best use of situations with such strong cards.
