KK vs AA my nemesis

I've been grinding out 9 tabling the past couple of weeks as much as possible which has not been very much! I have been ahead for the most part but the one hand that has been killing me lately has been KK. It seems that no matter how I play it preflop that if I am destined to get a lot of action, that action has been coming from AA. In the past two weeks I have probably had KK lose to AA allin about 10 times. And there have been a couple of times where I have thrown KK away preflop!! Something I never do and I am worried that I am going to become even more passive than I have been recently which would turn me to stone. Here's an example of today's hit.

This has been typical. KK has been running into AA so many times lately. The one thing he does in this hand that is something I really appreciate is that he does not repop me preflop. If he does there is a possibility that I can get off the hand or at least slow it down and not play for all my chips. Maybe. As played there is not much I can do here.

As for my bankroll, it is up about 500 hundred this month. Combined with about 30000 fpps that is good for about 1k in March. My goal for April is to remain profitable at .50/1 for about $750 and gain about 20000 fpps which at Platinum is worth about $800. I think 20k fpps is doable if I get in enough hours in April. We will see. Looking ahead I have my sights on double Supernova in 2007 and total earnings over 1k/month. Barring a full out crackdown on Internet poker.
