AA is supposed to be a good hand, right?

Was frustrated last night to get knocked out of the $7 bodog mtt 7 away from the money when I got my AA in pre-flop vs AKs. Of course, the flop gave my opponent a flush and I was gone out of the money instead of having a decent stack to make a run at the final table.

Of course tonight finds me w AA and two callers to my raise pre-flop. Here, see for yourself:
