Fold AA PreFlop?

mrbond8844 · Dec 22, 2018

AA's pre flop has an 82% chance of winning, if you fold aces pre flop then maybe you shouldnt compete seriously

mrbond8844 · Dec 22, 2018

on a side note i just busted out of a tournament five minutes ago, i had aces and went all in pre flop and lost to a 7-5 suited, he hit a straight by the turn, ironic.

Well I was in bubble can say we were 10 players and charged the first two positions, and I was on the button, both went All in before me, choose to fold because he had the same chips about them and one was going to go safe

If I am in one of the ACR on demand $10 freerolls and four people ahead of me have gone all in, I'm probably considering chucking those Aces! Buh-Bye!

That you've thrown that pair of aces does not mean it's the right thing to do. On any strategy page, they accept to throw a pair of queens or even a pair of kings, but fold pre-flop pair of aces? You have to be ridiculously bad

Sometimes

Really mate, it really depends on the stage the table are on. Usually, I don`t, but if i`m realize that the table is hot, no way. =D

I know what some articles says, but, i am an enthusiast

I believe on the god of cards

Not even on the bubble. You have the best hand pre. If you're playing to win, you play your best hands.

radartodd69 · Dec 27, 2018

I would not fold aces against 2 all ins even if they had me covered. If you're gonna fold the best hand in poker, you might as well take up another hobby. It's good that you recognize stack sizes going in but you have to ignore that and play your hand.

dimon4ik89 · Dec 28, 2018

Poker is a math, and sooner or later AA must lose. I think in your situation you did the right thing. AA, I have never done a pass, and such cards as KK QQ JJ I often make a pass, especially when I want to get into the money, and one of my opponents makes all inn. If I were you, I would do the same, I think many players will support you and say that you did the right thing.

Playing a poker tournament is something extremely exciting, having the opportunity to make good money from it is even better. Imagine playing a tournament for six hours, only eliminating 25 players to get you in ITM, you have 26,000 in stacks and you get AA in a certain hand, you decide to raise 3x, some opponents fold until you reach the villain who returns you an allin of 58,000 stacks. In a situation like this, do you think it's profitable to pay that allin?
In my opinion, I would fold this hand without a doubt.

I prefer to play with caution, with the intention of forming good games. I'm not the type of player who goes allin just because he has an AA pair in his hand, a pair is the smallest poker game, I would not risk my life in the tournament with a pair even being from AA, I am learning to play with the stacks and bet according to the value that the cards deserve, allin only when are nuts.
We have to keep in mind that even with the advantage of winning with AA, if a villain decides to pay his allin with 72o, he has an 11% chance of winning. For that reason I do not get involved in allin against villain with any two cards, only with game formed post-flop.

The question is have you ever folded AA pre-flop.. My answer, Yes.

I have folded AA pre on the bubble of a few satellite's where villain had me covered. I've never folded them pre in any other circumstance. Only other one I would consider folding them pre is the circumstance someone once asked. and while I know it will probably never happen it's still an interesting thought. In the WSOP main event $10,000 buy in and one of the most prestigious tournaments arguably in the world. It is the very first hand dealt, everyone has a stack of 50,000 chips. Every player shoves and you're last to act and look down at Ace's do you call or fold, and why?

Good answer & good question!

Hmm, I probably would call in such a situation. Simply because of the chance to get a huge stack. Maybe that´s wrong but that´s what I would do.

Greets!

Yes dumped more than once . In a variety of situations . This is especially true when there are several players to the prize . And you have a small stack . Or when you play against a chipleader and he goes to Allyn . There were other situations when dropped .

If I have a ss and get AA, I'm happy to get it all In vs several players, and what does it matter if it's chipleader that goes all In? I'm thrilled when anyone goes all In preflop and I have AA, I'm never folding it pre in a normal tournament, and only very rare occasions in a satty

Making mistakes, we lose and win by making correct, reasonable bets regardless of the outcome of a particular hand. Dropping missiles preflop you may fall into the money, but at a distance such tactics do not carry value.

There are so many factors that play into the decision such as stack size in the money or close to the bubble pay jumps etc. Each has to be considered in the moment. It takes a lot of discipline to make a correct EV decision when holding a huge hand.

Jezdic · Dec 28, 2018

No better and stronger pre-flop than AA! In any case, you are the strongest player from all players pre flop.

kristersb123 · Dec 28, 2018

I would probably fold aces if it's important satellite tournament and people go all in with the stack size like me

Several times in big money tournaments several times I lost the chip lead . And I wouldn't say he had a strong starting card . Arguing about it is not professional .Everyone has their own style of play . Here the question was asked I answered it .

I completely disagree with almost everything you said and think it's very wrong, but I respect your reply. It seems to be working well for you.

jofieloviedo · Dec 29, 2018

Yeah I did

I folded AA one time when I had too much chips and 3 players went all in, I didnt want to take that risk cause there were many player and I thought I could lost agains one of them but if it would be just agains player pre-flop I guess I never fold AA cause I have hight possibilities to win. I guess you want to go all in with AA most of the time but I remember evne with AA we can lose so that time I trusted my instincs.

fadisn · Dec 30, 2018

Never AA, KK, QQ !! Unless clear flush maybe !
Everything can happen on turn/river !
And if I loose ! I loose happily

dedok0525 · Jan 3, 2019

I have a few opinions on this. If I play satellite where I need to take several places to win, and the number of my chips guarantees me one of the top places, then I usually leave to drink coffee. Even if I have one aces until the end of the tournament, it will be a meaningless risk to play, because I guarantee myself the victory.
But if this is a regular tournament, then one-on-one to fold aces will be a mistake, since I have to win, and for this I need to have the maximum number of chips. If more than four opponents play against me, and I risk losing a lot of chips, for example, on a bubble, then I would prefer to fold, since the most important thing is to survive the bubble.
