From that im seeing there months is that a lot of players give their all-in on their first hand just like that. I was seeing those aces folded, from myself also played from my self all-in.

Lets discuiss what do you do with the pocket Aces on sit'n go early stage of tournaments.

You need to call a shove with AA because there's no better starting hand and you want to get full value.Plus a double up in early phase is an advantage.

i don´t think you shove in first, but raise. If someone shoves, you call. You can fold your aces

No. There's no need for a poll.

If you're folding AA pre-flop during the first hand of a tournament, you're making a mistake. It's not really something that needs to be debated or something where it's appropriate to have an "opinion" about a different play. In this case, you never fold.

Maybe if every other player is all-in, I could see someone justifying a fold because you're almost sure to get into the money by folding. I still think it would be a bad fold and we should be playing to win. It's going to be pretty ugly being heads up as an 8-1 dog in chips.

The answer couldn't be easier. You shove and hope to be called by one ,2 at the most , hope not more than 2(not so possible) cause then things are not good .

There is not other way I think to play AA early on a tournament , on the first 2 blind levels , unless you play them very very carefully, you raise many blinds and ,if played with the normal 3x blind bet you' ready to fold them if the othere gets too much over aggressive .

I have lost many times playing them slowly so the other had his time to form his two pair or better hand in no time. So no f***ing way I slow play AA again early in SNG or TOURNAMENT . I felt such a sucker when AA got cracked that way :mad:
