Joe,

You are making the right plays but second guessing yourself because the results were not there. The AA hand you had 81% equity---I would make that play every time. The KK v AQ you had 75% equity. Winning poker is about getting the chips in with the best hand---period. Don't second guess yourself when you have a bad beat, you will win those hands MOST OF THE TIME. And you will win some tourneys too.
