Bad beats? pls tell me what im doing wrong here

In that situation there is nothing you could have done it was bad luck. Since this happens to you alot maybe you shouldnt put all your chips in preflop no matter what hand it is unless you need a double up. I've folded AA before because I didnt want to risk my whole stack for any cards preflop. I may be a little too careful sometimes but I don't get sucked out on or bad beat often because I protect my hands and my stack. But I would have made the same call there. I hope I'm making sense lol

The only situation you should be folding AA preflop is when ICM tells you too. For those who don't know, ICM in a nut shell is your equity in the prize money of a tournament. There are situations where the risk of an all in is not worth the gain in prize money. These situations are few and far between, and with AA against single opponents like the OPs hands I still might call because i'm such a huge favorite.

It would be rare that I would fold AA preflop. I think I was trying to explain what you said, you just did it in way better words lol. What is ICM exactly? If it has to do with math I wont understand I'm terrible at math hehe

Certainly, after your opponent see's that he didn't hit any of his cards after the flop. He would have probably folded after you went all in.
