westwing77 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I do not post often if at all but I enjoy the site great reading. I have posted a hand below to see if I should have just folded AA preflop. Late in tourney just before bubble. I am 2nd in chips and the chipleader who has 38K raises. One caller follows. I look down at AA. I decide I want to end this hand here and now just befoe bubble. I raise all in. Chipleader folds what I want the most. The next guy calls his 16K. I am thinking if I raise all in as 2nd place in chips how can this guy call. He has to put me on AA or KK at worst! He ends up floping Quads. I make the money but not final table. Could I fold the AA here. I always thought about the situation where I may fold AA and I think this was it maybe.

PillyPill 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Just a cooler IMO. You played it right. Getting money in best with AA pre-flop is what you need to do. Only time I fold AA preflop is if I am way ahead in a qualifier. Link to post Share on other sites
gibler321 1 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i'll give an honest response. never ever fold Aces preflop in a MTT. in a satellite there are certain situations that it is ok to fold AA. however, if you are want to fold AA here because of the bubble, you should not be playing that tournament.

You shouldnt just be shoving here either, this is such a juicy spot to try and win a monster pot, shoving all in preflop when the only other guy who has a bigger stack than you has opened the pot is so -EV imo...

Depends on his aggression, what he will stack off with, how he will perceive your shove. This is better than him flatting over the long-run I think. Link to post Share on other sites
mase_gotsem 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 id re raise and fold to a shove, he might have the other two aces and be free rolling for the flush on us. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I Just Do Not Get ItTrue. Like, this is the most ridiculous question of all time. Should I fold my aces? YES YOU SHOULD FOLD THEM, YOUR OPPONENT MAKES QUADS!. Hindsight is 20/20 though. What I would do next time is have a shuffled deck of cards by your computer, and then before making the call try dealing out a flop. If that flop looks favorable to aces, then you should flip a coin, and if the coin comes heads you should call. If the coin comes tails you should deal another flop off the deck, and see how it looks. If it looks favorable, flip another coin, if it's heads call, if it's tails, deal another flop, and so on. If you see an unfavorable flop at any point, you should fold. An unfavorable flop is any flop with a pair on it, because obviously your opponent will have made trips. You'd be surprised how often the flop you deal on your desk is exactly or almost exactly the same as the flop that pokerstars deals. It's weird, I'm not sure why it works like that, but it does.
