Pocket Aces Lose Again

My ongoing bad luck with pocket aces on Ultimate Bet.

.05/.10 (No Limit Hold'em) Full 10 person table.

I am under the gun with As Ad. Deciding to slowplay, and let someone else raise, I call .10.
Next person also calls
Next person raises to .55
everyone else folds to the small blind and big blind who both call .55
I re-raise to $1.60
The original raiser goes all in for $2.45.
The small blind and I both call.

Flop comes Jh Ks Qd
small blind checks, I go all in for $2.27, and the small blind folds.

Turn is Kh
River is 3s

I have two pair, aces and kings, and am beat by pocket jacks...with a full house, jacks full of kings for an $8 pot ($7.60 after a .40 rake)
