I am not sure if there is an answer at least not one I really already dont know but here goes.
In a large tourney and within 10 players from the $ mid size stack and
been playing for hours.
All of a sudden you get Pocket Kings and because you are so hunkered down you wait for the flop. Out comes a rainbow of unconnected cards all under 10.
So I pull the trigger and slam some big chips to the pot and I am answered
with a call.I look again at the cards and go all in.
Badda boom badda bing He has Poket ACES and slow played me right out of the tourney .Heres the Questions would you of just folded to the $
or played slow and run at the sight of a large bet ?.
This happens often enough that it almost seems unusually suspicious .
Now I know at the end the players are all good and not like playing at the beginning tourney with a startup Donkfest.Should I continue to trust my cards or play as if its all a conspiracy.

Well, running kings into aces is generally really hard to get away from. But about your tournament strategy - the money is in the top spots and you cant just fold your way into a healthy payday - you should always play aggresively.
PS. Since you didn't post the stack sizes in relation to the blinds I guess you were about 25 BBs deep so in that spot keeping the pot small is pretty much impossible.
