Do you usually risk everything you have?

With $ 200 in the cash game would you risk calling All in if your hand was A A preflop?+_+ Do you usually risk everything you have?

#2 November 25th, 2019, 11:37 PM

Absolutely! That said, I just lost a hand with AA. He had KK to start and ended up with quads. Anything can and does happen in poker.

#3 November 27th, 2019, 1:01 AM

Well if there's three Jacks of diamonds on the board I'm calling the floor or exiting the website lol. But to answer your question, yes I'm putting all the money in with AA on that flop. It goes without saying that there was at least one raise pre flop. Your opponent will very rarely have the last J. And even when they do, you can statistically still go runner runner quad Aces. Both are very unlikely but ultimately poker is a game of edges or probability gaps. If you aren't willing to get all the money in in situations like this then you shouldn't be playing with that much money on the table. Work your way up and take those edges where you can find them.

Who does not risk he does not drink champagne.

#5 November 27th, 2019, 7:50 AM

I would, but depends on how I feel where I'm at in the situation.

Don't be too attached that you can't fold Aces (common beginner mistake) but also don't be afraid to call.

You go into a poker game not being afraid to lose your buyin. Can't let the fear of losing or making mistakes period weigh on you.

With that being said, depends on the action. Your opponent can easily have a lower pocket pair than you that he went crazy with.
KK, QQ, TT-22
He can also put you on having nothing so he thinks he can re-"bluff" the pot away from you.
Or he can Jx who got too excited when he hit quads.

Def take the preflop action into account and what you think is in his range. Alot of people just come to gamble, $200 is nothing to them. So ATC is always a possibility in their preflop range.

You have to give us more details.

Plus sometimes if you put so little in the pot if you fold it's not like you lost alot. Other hands will present themselves where you're more sure about having the better hand.

He can also be bluffing and repping Jx cuz he knows you don't have Jx is not in your range given the preflop action if 3 or 4 bet AA pre. Takes alot of boldness and is an advanced play tho.

"Usually" -- no.
"Sometimes" -- yes.

Depends on the stack size and what action I'm facing. Low stack sizes mean all the cash is getting in more easily than large stack sizes.

#8 November 27th, 2019, 3:15 PM

With AA in cash you have to go or pay all in, it is the best possible hand then why not play it.

#9 November 27th, 2019, 6:43 PM

I just realized I read the initial question wrong. The JJJ was just your signature. To your question, if I'm in a cash game and I ever have a chance to call off my $200 stack with AA I am making that call 100% of the time.

#10 November 28th, 2019, 3:44 AM

If you hesitate one nanosecond when it comes to calling with all your stack with the nuts preflop, you are playing way too high.

#11 February 28th, 2020, 2:21 PM

I finished earlier game all in AJ , and he got A 5 , blinds were 60000 , so i got 450000 Do you usually risk everything you have?

i should to do this

#12 February 28th, 2020, 2:39 PM

correctly written, the main game is bankroll and discipline, and there will be no questions, there will be an understanding of the game

#13 February 28th, 2020, 3:04 PM

Yes. Aces are best hand preflop- got to be all in.

You are not the only one😁!

#15 February 28th, 2020, 3:25 PM

yes but by praying that this hand will hold up against my opponent. variance does not make a gift especially in cash game.

#16 February 28th, 2020, 4:32 PM

poker is a game of variance

AA all in preflop is a no brainer, especially in a cash game

this is your dream scenario

Yes of course I'd call it all off with AA preflop

BUT, if I only had $200 to my name I would never sit with all the money at a poker table

Sitting only with money you can afford to lose and still maintain your level of lifestyle is essential to responsible gambling and being able to play poker with full confidence.

Hello, it�s realy sad to lose AA to KK

#19 March 2nd, 2020, 2:22 AM

Yes every time. You never give up a mathematical edge in a cash game. This is why bankroll management is so important for serious players.

I am not sure, what the question is? Preflop AA is the nuts, so of course I am never folding it in a cash game or a normal tournament. Only in a satellite tournament or a DON can it sometimes be correct to fold AA preflop, if you can fold your way to a sure ticket or cash.

If you are talking about a situation, where we see a JJJ flop, then it depends on stack sizes, positions and preflop action. If I raise AA from late position, and BB defend, then the stack to pot ratio is very deep, and both players can have JX quite a lot. So in that spot I am not nessesarely ready to play for all the money without the last J in my hand.

#21 March 2nd, 2020, 4:17 PM

I never risk everything because it, in any case, will someday result in losses. And I do not play cash games, I prefer tournaments. In tournaments, your costs are limited and therefore the risk of losing more than you can afford is minimal.

#22 March 2nd, 2020, 4:44 PM

Depends on what else was on the flop. But in general, it’s not worth the risk of such money.

#23 March 2nd, 2020, 5:56 PM

Hello, again, I loose my bankroll (
Maybe I shouldn�t play spin & go? )

#24 March 3rd, 2020, 1:25 PM

As long as I didn't suspect foul play. If you're thinking about folding AA pre flop you shouldn't be in that game.

#25 March 10th, 2020, 3:23 PM

absolutely… its a strategy to not ending the stock and to not making the things more difficult like less money more trouble to earn…

Not to sound negative but this post caught my attention. There is no difference between risking everything in a tournament or in a cash game. You could be in a $200 buy in tournament and have the same decision with AA. Are you also never going to call the all in pre flop then? Alternatively you could be in a cash game online playing 10NL with a $10 stack. Are you never going to call the all in pre with AA there either? I thought the obvious answer (although it doesn't seem obvious from reading some of the posts here) is to only play with what you can afford to lose. That way it doesn't matter if it's a tournament or a cash game when you have the best hand you will never think about folding it. The whole point of the game is to get all the money in the middle when you have the best hand. If you're only willing to do this if your opponent is drawing dead then you should probably find another game to play because that is super rare in poker.

#27 March 10th, 2020, 11:10 PM

With AA if I have the opportunity to get it all in the middle, it's going in 100% of the time. You're a strong favorite over all other hand's why wouldn't you?

#28 March 12th, 2020, 2:44 PM

you know how they say, who runs the risk of he will get profit Do you usually risk everything you have?

but i would definitely pay all in for hand AAs Do you usually risk everything you have?

I do not agree with you. For me, tournaments are safer because my spending on play is limited by buy-in. When I'm playing cash games, I'm more emotional and I can just spend more than I planned.

That’s fine, we can agree to disagree. Your spending on play is always limited by buy in for both tournaments and cash. Many tournaments have rebuy and add on options as well so you could also spend more than you planned there too. So are you folding the AA in the tournament as well? It sounds to me like the tournament is only safer in your mind since you are less likely to re-buy if that is even allowed. Learning not to spend more than you planned is good. But folding AA in general is bad. If we thought hard we could probably come up with an ICM tournament fold on the bubble in a 9 way all in, closing the action for stacks with AA or something. But in general we should be piling in money pre with AA in both tournaments and cash.

#32 March 26th, 2020, 10:17 AM

no matter what the distribution is, it is forbidden to throw two aces preflop))

#33 March 26th, 2020, 10:24 AM

No. On the one hand, I would never put my entire abncroll on 1 page. On the other hand, the AA combination in my statistics is 80% fall, 20% gain.

#34 March 26th, 2020, 10:40 AM

If you were willing to put all of your $200 into the game, you absolutely have to be willing to put AA all-in pre=flop.

#35 March 26th, 2020, 4:13 PM

AA is the best starting hand so I would put it all on the line in a cash game if I lost my mind and played with all my bankroll as one buy-in

#36 March 27th, 2020, 11:18 AM

Sometimes you need to risk with emotions Do you usually risk everything you have?

#37 March 27th, 2020, 11:43 AM

Why not,sure All in

#38 March 27th, 2020, 9:35 PM

I have lost 100 pounds with AA and he had KK, and guess what? He made 4 of kind and i had full... After that hand i never go all �n with AA

Thank you for your post. With pocket A's preflop I'm gladly getting all my money in. If you're hesitating shoving all in preflop with the best hand ever created then maybe you would feel more comfortable moving down in stakes. A much more skilled and knowledgeable poker player told me not to play anything higher than a cash game my bankroll can cover 400bb in. Thus the amount of money being played for won't influence your decision making and you can just view the players actions as bb bets and what the amounts signify in that particular hand. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Good Luck To All Do you usually risk everything you have?

#40 March 27th, 2020, 10:01 PM

I would not risk it quads an be a killer believe me Do you usually risk everything you have?

If you have to ask this, you're playing the wrong game.

#42 March 27th, 2020, 11:49 PM

Of course i am call. Without risk, there is no victory. If I get an AA, I'm happy to call for allin

#43 March 28th, 2020, 12:30 AM

I lost to quads a few days ago. Had the nut boat. He had the ugly 7. I doubt id play it any different, all in for sure.

Aw! That�s a tough loss for sure. I try not to go all in unless I know I have the nuts or close to them, but there are situations. Especially, when you are the low stack and have your back against the wall.

#45 March 28th, 2020, 12:37 AM

Only if they were black aces. Because... It's fun to not have any idea of poker theory.

#46 March 28th, 2020, 12:45 AM

That�s one part of my game I don�t have trouble with every hand has a chance to be your last unless I�m on trny bubble full steam a head

#47 March 28th, 2020, 2:00 AM

When playing poker, sometimes you have to risk everything, there’s no getting around it.

Yes, I would risk all in with $200 if I had AA preflop at a 2/5 dollar NL game, I would do it with 1K. Do you usually risk everything you have?

I think it is very hard to fold that hand depends on the players that you have been playing with and if you can call their bluffs or not. Do you usually risk everything you have?

You should not focus on the outcome of one hand, instead focus on what is the average amount you win or lose if the event in question happens an infinite amount of times. If you have the nuts in preflop you should not fear anything and your goal has to be to induce your opponents to put a ton of chips before flop.
