Message: [QUOTE="RammerJammer, post: 327864, member: 2090"] People have seen their AA get shot down in flames soooooooo many times that they're content to get anything they can out of it, even if it's only tiny blinds. Also, very early in a tournament, they recognize that the maniacs are still at the table, chomping at the bit to go all in with anything. It's actually not that bad a spot to step out with the early all-in. You're about as likely to double or triple up on the fish and knock them out as you are to just drag 15 chips in blinds. Especially if it's a rebuy tournament or freeroll. I personally would prefer to play it a bit closer to the vest, as you suggest, and try to get some more people involved in the hand. But I can't throw rocks at the AA 1st-hand all-in. I've done it myself a few times, for the reasons previously stated. [/QUOTE]
