the A A preflop fold was a no brainer!

At last, we agree on something.

'Twas an easy call.



I voted yes in the poll because I can fold AKo UTG. Sometimes you spot a tell on someone acting after you that they have a huge hand. Online it could be a satellite bubble situation etc etc.

Not in a normal tournament though, when you get the cards you gotta play them matey. Position is important, but so is playing AK when you're dealt it.

To just be a little controversial, The AA pass preflop was a justified play, last to act and to call all in with AA against 4 other players, your aces are a 2% dog.  why call all in as a 2% dog when 3 people will probably go out and you make the cash by outplaying people from a better spot.  You cant just play the cards in this particular situation.

I will also say this is about the only time I would ever fold aces pre flop.

Those aces are not a 2% dog, they are 48% to win and at this point are the favourite hand! Now, whilst you may lose with the hand in this situation more than you win, its a simple race scenario but the time of the tournament dictates that it is profitable to let this go.

Yes mikky, sorry got this one wrong, too many threads and too many numbers.
