[QUOTE="osirisdean, post: 360665, member: 6560"]
in the situation where i was *guaranteed* to make the money if i fold AA preflop, i might consider it. for something like an online tournament? heck no, ill play aces preflop every time. like it's been said, it's not worth it to simply make the money; to win money, you have to play for first place every time.
 
now if i had gotten into the WSOP (either thru satellite, gift, or straight up buy-in) and i was absolutely guaranteed to make the money if i fold AA preflop, then i would probably fold. why? because honestly, i would be much happier winning whatever amount on top the buy-in with stakes that high; furthermore, i figure my chances of making *more* money (even though i consider myself a very solid player) somewhat slim. i would assume that in the WSOP, after the bubble breaks, you still have to wade through another hundred people or so to get a bump up in the payback, which to me isnt offering me decent enough odds to throw away a guaranteed profit (again, at those stakes).
 
now, to change scenarios again, if i were used to playing high stakes and had the talent (and bankroll) of ivey or gordon or whomever, then of course i wouldnt be concerned about the bubble, id be concerned about getting to the final table. and in that case, AA = all in. ;)
