Default AA back to back in the blinds

I was playing the ferguson tourney on full till last night in a field of close to 1300.
It was late in the tourney with about 200 players left with only the top 180 ITM.i was in around 150 anyway, i was in the BB and ended up with AA. several players were tying to limp in so I raised it 4 BB and got 1 caller making it a 3000 chip pot, trying to push him off of any draws i bet the pot on the flop and he folded, then i showed him my hand which I rarely do.
The very next hand I had AA again in SB, the player UTG fired off a nice raise and had 1 caller.
I knew it would be hard to put me on AA again so soon, so i shoved allin counting on him calling with a big pkt pair which he did, he had JJ. I won the showdown, he was so disgruntled saying the only reason he called was because he knew I just had AA and there was no way I had it again...
It was nice catching them back to back but in the blinds was like icing on the cake!

Nice job way to go! I must say I'm completely shocked that it held up twice in a row with all the loosey goosey that goes on in those things LOL Very happy for you! *big thumbs up*

It's so rare to get AA in back to back hands. Great job in exploiting it for good value

Earlier in the tourney i was down to 540, got AK suited UTG... ended up tripling my stack, then followed that hand catching AA in BB , tripling my stack again. it was about 30 minutes later when i caught the AA in the blinds.
