You listed four opponents now, not three. And you also picked three of the worst possible hands for AA to be up against (suited connectors in separate suits). But removing any one of those four (and thus making it three opponents) would bump the aces up to ~50%. It's hard for me to create a situation in the odds calculator where we're less than a 44% favorite.

I'd say 50% against three opponents is likely to be quite a low figure. Against most hands that people are willing to go all-in with, AA should win significantly more than that.

God, the AA one again.

Joosebuck it's simple - the more players you are up against the less likely you are to win with AA. However, the more players you are up against, the more money you win when AA holds up. You will NEVER get to the stage where you do not have pot odds to call with AA - it's impossible, as AA will ALWAYS be favourite over your opponents. If you are unhappy taking 5/1 odds on a 2/1 chance because you know you will lose 2 times out of 3, then you shouldn't play Poker anymore.

Well I wasn't giving advice on how to play AA, I was just asking if you should lay it down vs. like 3-4 all-ins before you..

hah actually it looks like i was giving advice, but uh i think i meant to phrase it as a question, because i wasn't sure if it should be played in that situation or not

AA -I bet it and re-bet because if I don't- I get burnt with 2 pair crap. It scares me to but know it's the best hand going in and you have to be confident in playing pocket A's. I don't fold them till I get busted and that's quite often! It's just the luck of the draw.

You have pocket aces pre-flop, your on the button. 1st position raises the blind x2, 4th pos. raises 2x that. Next player goes all-in. You are the small stack, you know you have the best starting hand, then you relize you are on the bubble and if you go out this hand you get shit. Do you call or do you fold and make the money? To fold pocket aces is a sin acording to (The Poker Bible), but we've all seen AA go down hard and win like the champs that they are. What would you do?

You got to go all in and you have to taunt everyone at the table while your doing it. I've seen it win and lose , but if it's going to lose you'll have to show me. This is the chance I've been waiting for to make my charge for # 1 baby. Let's do this.

I agree with most on calling with the Aces in a cash tourny. You are the short stack and you have a 4-1 ROI with the best starting hand. You have to take the chance to get enough chips to compete for a higher placing. I also agree with Crock65 though about the satellite tournys. If someone else is at risk of busting out then you should let go of the aces to further your chance at winning a seat. Because the satellite tourny prizes are all the same amount then you should probalbly be conservative. You must also think about Aces against three other opponents. Your chances of a winning hand are now reduced drastically.

I've gone out on the bubble so many times that the boys call me Bubble Boy now but the times that I have won have more than made up for the money lost on the bubble. Always play to win, you are the leader going to the flop, what more could you ask for?

The exception would be a Sattelite where all of the spots pay the same but you didn't mention a Sattelit in your original post.

NEVER FOLD AA PREFLOP.

Unless it is a satellite and you are on the bubble where one more player goes out and everyone wins. You only fold here if you can fold into the seat and someone who covers you pushed all-in. Also, if one or two short stacks go all-in on the bubble and you have a short-stack as well, folding is smart if one of them will be eliminated or SEVERELY damaged so much so that the blinds will destroy them the next time they are hit.
