Hello people, first of all excuse me if i make some typing mistakes on this post because i`m not used to write a lot in english.
This is my first post so perhaps for some is a silly one, but, for others might be useful.
Probabbly all of us who played tourneys online (freerolls or low buy-in) are tired of watch people playin what we normally call "Bingo hands", but online poker is not live poker, where u can read an opponent that easy, so avoid any early confrontation pre-flop, even if u have a monster pack, Why?, simple, even if u have a monster, and u are favorite, let`s say AA, ANY hand preflop can give us a really ugly surprise, most of all if we are takin risks against several players, so, this is not an Einstein`s Tip, but, use your position very carefully to avoid that situation, if u are in a late one, and with AA in your hand, 3+ players go all in, and the tourney is important for you, be careful, sometimes is better fold earlier than live to regret for a badbeat, Even in many cases is important not to push to early, lets say if u are sited UTG for example.
Play wisely, and if I can give a really good tip, wait till the waters start to calm down to develop your strategy. Good luck all, and see ya on the tables !:) :) :)

I often lost with the hand of AA. Example: when I played against three and Bole (when everyone goes all-in) my AA against two pair, and when after the deal three cards opponent just harvests three pairs (222)..

Never fold AA this for you -EV.. and situation when 3 player going all-in very rare and this often happens only in freerolls or microlimits..

I would never fold AA even if mutliple people are in the pot already. This usually happens in micro or freerolls, so if you loose, you can invest that time in another game. But if you win, your bankroll is set so that you can now be much more patient and wait for your opportunities.
For me, poker is a lot about strategies and trying to get the best situation that has the best probability to win. With AA, this is one of those situations.

I play freerolls quite prolificly because I figure if I'm playing anyways why not? I start my rolls with them too. I disagree with your advice about folding AA in the early stages to mulitple all-ins. You're right equity goes down with each player that is already in the pot but keep this idea in mind: People are jamming and shoving so wide it's never good to fold here and in freerolls its important to build a stack. What I've done is calculated a range that is ahead of likely villians (in the all in pots). 99+ AJs+ AQ+ If you have a willingess to open jam these hands and jam over others with these in the early stages you should do well in the long run (you will lose to some crap hands or run into better ones occasionally but thats just the nature of freerolls). One you accumulate a stack and get to the mid stages that is when you can start playing good poker imo. Experiment with that range and see how it goes.

AA in late position is already the winning hand pre! As the owner of that win your only job should be to maintain it. If you play to lose then more than likely you will. A WIN IS A WIN !!!. Bet sizing to maintain your AA is very important, at 2.5 x every limper plus the binds is the minimum. . Now, if you get a 3 and 4 bet pre from early position, there's a 5% chance theirs another Ace in hand somewhere. Keep all of this in mind and gl

nevef fold AA and KK, i think in multipot your big monkey have more chances against your opps, cause 2 or more of them can be with Ax.

Hi my reaction everytime i hold the Aces, http://i.imgur.com/qBXhIcs.gif (sry if pictures are not alowed). There is really just one situation where you should fold aces ... Yes there is one, but only one. If your playing a satallite and you are in a spot where you will 99% win a place and a bigstack bets to you. Everytime else follow Hellmuth example.

I think there is not a single holding for 8 other people to bring your aces down below 11% equity.
