Rockets crashed and burned

I haven't done the research yet, but feel certain I've had a better net result over my poker career with pocket threes than I've had with pocket rockets (aces). This may seem strange at first blush, but it's really not. For one thing, I'd rarely be tempted to go all in with pocket threes, but I've gone all in with aces many times. One such time was in the fourth tournament I entered last night. I was up against two opponents and lost to both, so you could say my rockets both crashed and burned. I was a 62.44% favorite, but one opponent made a straight to win our side pot, and the other made a full house to win the main pot. Man, did that hurt!
