    The other day I was in the $109 35k, I have cashed almost every time Ive played in this tourney with hard work. After making the money with about 15-20K in chips and the blinds already at 600/1200 I all of a sudden get a crazy quick string of hands where I hit the nuts and people paid me off huge with the second nuts or close to it everytime! Sick! This rarely ever happens to me I usually have to work hard for my chips. Anyways, 4 hands later Im at 120K and almost chip leader right after calling an all in and knocking someone else out with quad aces. Wow, only 16 people left and Im feeling great! Havent gotton lucky like this in a long while. The very next hand after my miracle rise to the top I get KK, guy in early position with 60K raises 3x to 3,600. My very first thought and instinct told me it was a trap and to just check call him all the way down but I ended up raising him to 15K, I did have KK. As I feared he went all in instantly, I decide not to be superstitious and call the guy, he has AA as I suspected. So Sick!!! I knew it!!! I was sooo angry at myself because right when I looked at KK and his raise I felt the "internet software trap" mainly due to what happend the past 4 hands during my lucky rise to the top, it was just too good to be true...What would you have done? What should I have done? Should I have checked called him down with my suspicions or should I have just played the game? Pro Advice only please!

    this is one of those times you need to fold KK. If you get that feeling where you know they have AA, just fold the KK and wait for AA. gl next time
