Third hand in the tournament, so villain is unknown [played 2 out of 3 hands]. So just the general question, because I seem to bust quite often in the early stage of the tournament with premium hands like QQ+, so maybe I'm playing them wrong? Since all three hands would have an overpair here, I'd play them all the same, as I did in this case with my aces. Is it correct, and I'm just being very unlucky with these hands, or is it wrong somewhere ?
