110 people entered. $100 + $20 buy in. $5,000 in starting chips.
I knock 2 people out within the first 2 rounds and build my chip stack up. One person I knocked out was a 19 year old beauty with huge knockers and a low cut shirt. Everybody else was pissed when I did that and actually booed me.
After I had a good chip stack, I bullied the table for a while till I had a respectable $25,000 in chips. Then a hand comes. I go all in and lose with with A Q to A K., when nothing but rags hit the board. Thank god the other guy only had $12,000 so I was still in the game.
Slowly but surely, I build back up to $25K. Down to 11 people. Antes are 500 and blinds are 4,000-8,000. Only enuff for 2 rounds, second shortest stack in the game at that point. I look down at A-J. You think I would have learned my lesson??? All in, A-Q calls me and wins when yet again, rags hit the board. TOP 9 PAID!!!
Should I have folded the AJ at that point???

According to some, this could be a bad move, as you could have taken more chips off the other guys who were distracted by her. Unless, of course, you were also distracted by her. I know I would have been!

AJ to AQ ,
AQ to AK ,
and you don't come from behind ?!
I've lost count of the times ive gone all in pre flop with AJ or AK , and the one idiot who can cover me , calls with KJ and knocks me out 
What position were you in , with your AJ ? if you were in semi late position ,you may have wanted to wait and see if you could land the money
