Hi
Folding AA
Depends
Situational
How many calls?
Is it on the bubble and if you go all in and lose will you be eliminated?
If I have a good stack and with AA I will go all in anytime.

But if I am low stack and on the verge of elimination with Hand to Hand play in progress, I fold anything.
Better to have 0.75$ than a 0$.

hi, to reset two AA's on a preflop, you need to have an incredible sixth sense.)

Maybe add a little context with this?

Any other tournament you are 100% calling here.

But Lex is on a Sat bubble, 5 people who are way shorter than him
so why would you ever gamble with AA here? it's the easiest fold of your life. Who ever would call here should probably go over the senario a few times. cause a clearler fold can't be made ever than this one...

Yes i would fold aswell on a sat bubble with AA

In a satellite, where you are already comfortable and in the bubble you shouldn't pay to see anything. Many players leave the table if they have enough stack to get them to the ticket. I even think it's the best option, not to be tempted. I've already lost satellites where I was the leader chip in the tournament and fell into the silly thing of calling all-in and I ended up not qualifying...
Today I get up from the table if I'm in a situation where I know I won't lose anymore.

Just on the satellite's bubble but even over there it's quite hard to do it. In other situations if you fold with AA's pre flop better to quit playing poker :D.

It has to be allin preflop with AA, there is no doubt about that, we must study preflop tables to have no doubts with hands, in this case the AA are played alone, but you should know that sometimes you may not win the hand and the opponent may hit a better hand, but in general it is a clear allin.

Wow , what a fold !!! 8 places pay , nine players , I could never do this I think , as I am afraid that I would be punished later being card dead , the other players would win flips and then I would be out , that would be mythinking ...

Excellentfold , did he won the sat seat or not , I am curious ??? Anyway , the chip leader , so fun shoving ATC , waiting for someone to make the bad move , he is a god on this table lol

Short before you come to prize money I reccomend not to go All In with this hand and even you have best hand, so give another player to win some money too. This is a sign of a successful play.

You should be ALWAYS folding aces there. It's a satty and he's a big stack (relatively), with 5 shorties he can outlast.

With 9 left and 8 getting a ticket, it literally does not matter what your cards are, you're folding everything pre.

While many complain that when they get AA nobody enters the pot to play. And now you have AA and you are asking should you fold?


I don't see any reason why you should fold. It is true that sometimes AA goes down but that can't be the reason to fold. If you hesitate to go all-in with AA then i don't know with what hand you would feel comfortable to play.

However there are situations like this one where you might think otherwise.

In tournaments, if you are at an early stage and the player seems like they just want to get either lucky or eliminated, I would consider calling it

I would go all in. If I was at the beggining of a tournament maybe some time I would fold, depending from the picture of my hands that time.

Never would i ever, even if the opponent has 3 kings somehow i wouldnt fold. Its just because mathematically its not logical from my side to fold that.

Would've probably folded as well even though it would've been temping to call, chances of getting beaten are not negligible.

With a pair of pocket aces 100% only all-in !!! And nothing else. Of course they can be run over, but to fold the strongest card when there is not even a flop yet, I think it is simply not wise.

No guarantee to win at all, the opponent from the example might have a pair as well (which they probably do)... Unless you know they just play like they want out, maybe in that case but it is still a pretty crazy bet
