I thought I was flowing... I was wrong

I tried to make amends and fix the huge leak that was the rest of my money on Pokerstars. So I decided to play in the .10 + 0.00 (50 Dollars Added) Tournament. I usually do well in these.

I thought I was actually flowing. Boy was I wrong...

Here are my last 4 hands: What a complete 180 this was...

I get Ad Ah so I decided to raise this time with Aces since the last time I saw them I was punished for not doing anymore than a Smooth Call.

I raise 100 and I get 1 caller. A very decent flop for me. 2c Qh Th

I bet 300 was raised 1210 (all in for guy raising) After contemplating the flush draw I call.

He has 5s Js I am in good shape. Turn is a 5d and the River is a Blank Ks

finally my hand stands up.

Very next hand I am delt 74os so I quickly fold.

So here is my final hand... I get ... WOW! Can it be...
Aces again! Ad Ac

I should have known that I am being so setup. Its not even funny. At this point I have 3840.

I preflop raise this time to 250. I get 1 caller. Flop is 8d 9d Qs

I am first to act so I bet out 1850. I get a slow reaise to 3430 all-in. So I call with my Aces.

He turns over Tc Jh. I am just devastated. He called my raise with semi good crap at best, and he is rewareded with a flopped Straight. Turn is 7c I am drawing Dead.... River is 2c. Two blanks.

I am left with like 160, I get 10J suited. I am all in.... No where near the flop.. I am done. What a turn around...

Well, the 2nd AA has several problems. First, the large overbet on the flop is suspicious. Secondly, it's a coordinated board and will hit the opponent quite often. A bet of 400ish would of been more appropriate. Then, if the opponent raises, you can fold leaving yourself with more than 3000 in chips.
