AA in the first hand of a tournament

It is a clear call, to start if there are 4 players in the hand you have 25% of winning it, but also you have the best combination of cards, in my case I would not think for a second. Aces can be lost against 3 rivals or heads up, but missing an opportunity in which we are sure that we are ahead seems crazy to me.
 
Definitely yes!
You currently have the best hand, and if you don't want to call with this hand, then with what hand do you give this?
Think about it, if you win, you can play much easier in the tournament.
 
Definite call, unless certain situations as described above come into play (satellite with xx of players advancing, etc.).

Good afternoon friends.
Today I come with a question, which for me has a simple answer ...
But that the other day left me wondering until I made the decision.
You are in the first hand of a tournament, you drop AA and there are 3 players in ALL IN, do you pay or fold your hand?
Cheers.😕😎

Good afternoon, if this happened to me I would definitely call allin because AA is the best hand in the game and it is rare for me to go out with it and I would not be afraid for being the first hand of the tournament and also for the fact of having 3 people involved.




 
It always good to call with AA... if you feel it , just do it. 😎
 
I believe that in 99% of the cases I would go all-in in the first hand with Aces even against 3 opponents .. in the case of some tournament where the ranking will be worth something it could be that I folded to be against another 3 in the first hand .. it would not be easy!!lol several times my AA is beaten by average hand HU .. against 3 I would have to cheer even more !! But my vote is all in!![emoji6][emoji1696][emoji383]
 
IT'S EASY FOLD FOR ME ...if is only 1 player on the pot yes 100 % all in !!with 3 or more it's good first to see the flop don't go all In Pre flop ...
 
AA en la primera mano

Hi. First hand of a $ 2.2 tournament with bounty happened to me last night. In the first hand I make a tri bet in MT and in button it goes there with KK and I had to pay with my AA and the river flew the K and goodbye to the tournament. It was painful. but that's how poker is
 
That's my dream;or maybe my horror nightmare sometimes.

Be ready to wager all your chips

As long as you are not 3+ you are ahead of the majority of the ranges. If you are heads up you can pretty much go for stacks especially if they flopped top pair.
 
The BEST starting hand

You have to realize that the goal of every poker player should be to make the BEST decision in every spot you play.

So when you have the best starting hand you can be dealt and you have already 3 people going all in.... then MEN, YOU HAVE TO CALL
 
Definitely not I miss three hands in any tournament, it's a kind of tradition. But that's just me))))
 
For me it’s a call, all day long. It’s no matter is it this or that, is it last money in your cashier.... it’s a call. There are no guarantees that you will not bust out in a second or 102 hand of a tournament. So it’s a CALL!!!
 
I personally prefer better hands later in the tournament, but I guess it all depends, is this micro of a freeroll? You've got to call IMO, the chances of you tripping in chips so early will let you play a wider range, exploit more, etc.

And with that hand, you are winning, if not it is a bad beat, you take it and move on.

What?? If you have an AA, you can choose either all in or double bluff) The idea of throwing out such a hand is not and cannot be, friend what are you talking about?) If there are 10 people at the table and everyone is all in, I will never throw out AA on the preflop! 🙂 no matter what stage of the tournament, if it's Bubble and you have AA I will play 100%! There are no options! Good luck! 🙂
 
I guess pay,if nyou dont pay with that cards,question is,with which cards you pay?
Ok i understand there is 3 other guys and who know which cards they have,but thats AA,this cards have best odds for win.

I go in My thinking is AK KK QQ JJ and maybe a small pair is in play whatever it maybe I've got the best hand but let's say the other two have the other A's man I'm sitting pretty Now your AA can be busted and I've had that happen to me but it doesn't change my AA play in all in's
 
There should be a consideration as to whether you have played against any of these opponents previously, if so your action could be determined by their action history. If all unknown then I would go all-in.

There are situations folding is best option. Most common that comes to mind is a satellite where the top X players all get same prize, your close to bubble and you have a healthy stack and don’t have one of the all ins covered, and there are enough short stacks that you can coast to the prize.

Actually, yes. But if you fold aces and you are sure about that you will enter in the prizes of this satellite, it is better to be sit out. As you said, you will fold the aces, because you are sure that you will get the prize you need without playing anymore. But when playing normally, I am not sure someone will fold aces pre-flop, regardless of the bets during it. 😀
 
on starzas it is dangerous to go all in with a pair of pocket aces in their hands, as they usually do, give out pocket pairs to several people, and the distribution is played in a lottery, the game is who will catch the set of three.
 
I would call and hope I will win ,it is a great chance to start in the tournement with a very big stak and that you need to come in the money

It also depends on which tournament you are playing. In a tournament with weak players, many will go all in with any weak aces, which gives a greater chance of success. In more expensive tournaments, this will be more difficult.
But in any situation, dropping pocket aces is a minus equity.🙂
 
depending on the tournament and if it is micro limits and it is Reentry I would call generally and all in middle pair and top pair like KK QQ or JJ and always like that when you have 3 all in and you have AA in hand. with a 70% chance of doubling up at the beginning of a tournament.
