Don't get too down mate, some days are just like that. Pick yourself up off the ground and carry on, and if you want to see poker being played "properly" try the 10 pays 5 double ups... I think they start at $5 on Pokerstars possibly lower... but easy money if you play super tight. Otherwise just keep doing what you're doing; QQ, KK, AA are all profitable hands but sometimes the odds just don't swing in your favour.

im my opinion there is only one way to play aa,kk,qq,and that is to put it all in preflop.if you get called with anything that is not a pocket pair you are at least a 70% shot.and if its aces it goes up to 83% or there abouts.
you are bound to get monkeys who hit straights and flushes to knock you out from time to time,but just check their statistics on sharkscope.they are fish who are down thousands of dollars.you always get clever people who say aces never win,well thats bullsheite,if you play them properly then its profitible long term

AA, KK, etc are much lower value in a $3 game than in a $30 one. You'll find the Double or Nothing games, even at the cheap level of $1 will play much better.
