karr2242 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 ANY person who would EVER consider folding in that spot with Aces would NEVER get to that spot in the first place, but good luck in tryin KennyG Link to post Share on other sites
benhoug 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 say 11 places is 800000...i could use the extra 200k..not sure about youSorry, but that's a horrible argument. You MUST play to win. Sure the difference between 11th and 10th may be 200k, but the difference between 11th and 1st is going to be around 10 million. Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Whomever says they would fold here should be stricken down by the poker gods, and should never play poker again. From the sound of this post, you have an 80% chance to become the massive chipleader and be in great shape to take down the title. By folding, you are essentially saying "Run Me Over!" If you play a tournament, you play to win and call. Link to post Share on other sites
Solodell 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Okay, am I the only one seeing you're almost guaranteed a million anyway if you call? Even if you lose, there is a great chance on of the other 3 short stacks get knocked out, and since you started with more chips, they would get the 11th place money, and up the chain. Shortest stack has to have the best hand, followed by second short stack, followed by 3rd short stack, followed by chip leader for you to get knocked out. So you would have to have the WORST hand of all of them, starting with pocket Aces. Doubt seroiusly that'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites

Only the other chip leader is all in. If you lose with AA, then you are out of the tournament in 11th place. Link to post Share on other sites
cuddlemonkey 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The right move might actually be to call, then muck your hand before the flop. You don't want the others to see how you play. Conditioning is obviously the best move. Link to post Share on other sites
HurricaneKyle 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I can guarentee you that my heart would be beating very fast, and that I would call real fast. If you fold, then you are passing up a great opportunity to become the MONSTER chip leader. If you are so willing to fold with AA, what will you call with in crunch time?

JaysonWeber 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The only time you can really consider folding in THIS situation ( when you're already a winner and you know that you're odds-on to take the commanding chip lead and bring the chip-leader close to elimination) is if you for some unknown reason owed someone more than the 11th place pay-out and you had no other way of getting the money together? I honestly can't see folding here... You've got a chance at "guaranteeing" yourself a top 5 finish at the worst, thats if you play the big stack like an over-rated internet donkey.

You will never find yourself in this situation. Because with each bump up in money you would be saying to yourself, a fold here and I win an extra 10K, 20K, 50K, ect. If you plan on folding AA in these situations, then you will never make it to the top 11 spots. Link to post Share on other sites
RMac 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 This has to be the dumbest question/situation ever. What self respecting, money loving person would fold here?Every poker player dreams and prays every day for a situation like this to happen to them.Except maybe the OP who wets his pants when he's faced with an all-in call when he has the nut flush because his opponent might have the one card he needs for a straight flush.
