It's going to depend on the pre-flop betting and the cards on the flop, dudes. If you have limped your aces, you probably should not play them any further in that situation. However, if you made a sizeable pre-flop raise to squeeze out the weaker cards and you see a dry flop with low ranks, chances are that you are still ahead. It's still going to be a coin flip and you will catch bad beats sometimes, but definitely go for it if it is a dry board.
it's too strange a question: "Do you lose aces"? Too many factors influence the adoption of this decision, I think that (I do not want to offend anyone), many agree that without more detailed conditions of the situation - it's just stupidity and not a question
Of course. The goal with AA is to see a flop with minimal players seeing it with you. I really only to have one player see the flop with me when i have AA. More than 2, and you will be disappointed with the outcome more often than not.
It is not a bad question. I do agree with you that I would like more description of the specific situation...however, the main point is that your premium hole cards lose their power with more people in the pot and after the flop, certainly the percentages go down.r21sp said:
The level of questions that are submitted to this forum generally vary quite a bit. Thus I am open to a great deal of different levels of what people are thinking about when they are considering a decision about a poker hand. I would expect that this player will be thinking about a wider range of factors when making this decision after a bit more experience and would be making a more specific post at that time.
The spirit of this CardsChat forum would be to refrain from using words like "stupidity" in response to any question - "There are no stupid questions" - and we do not want to discourage anyone from posting - especially - when they are in the beginning stages of playing poker.
Please in the future - consider that this is a forum with members who have varied levels of ability. If you feel the question is incomplete - ask politely for more information so that you can provide a constructive opinion and be supportive in the future.
We are all here to learn and have fun, Thank You.

Seems like an equity question to me but I'm thinking my hand isn't going to have the right equity most of the time with three shoves ahead of me, despite the great pot odds.
Take some time to think about how these three have been playing, their ranges for these actions, and any tournament factors (if it is a tournament... structure... ICM... opponent skill) and then act accordingly.
All that being said - this is not a situation you will face very often, so you won't need to worry too much about it! 😀
Focus on getting the decisions you face over and over correct more often to improve your game.
Good luck to you!

I'll never fold AA pre-flop, but if the flop comes and there's a possibility that other people could have better cards, especially if a double comes on the board or three of the same suit/straight-draws and there are multiple players in I could fold.
Hi,
On the flop with aces and not hitting a set or a flush draw, and facing 3 players all in!! It's an obvious fold I think, it's just a pair.
The only situation I would call in, is when the board is dry and the 3 players all in are weak players.

What is the board texture? Who are you playing against? How deep is your stack? Is it in a tournament or cash game? There is a lot to consider before you just flat there. AA will almost always have some equity post flop, but if you think the equity(or your percentage to win the hand) doesn't add up to the percentage of chips you're putting in to win the pot I would NOT do it.
