How do you think, is it normal to go preflop allin with AA in Sunday million in first hands? I was in such a situation- I had no bankroll to playing in this tournament! I win a ticket in Sunday million sattelite 1.65$ rebuy(in total I spent about 11$)! In second hand I got AA-I was raise, my opponent reraised so I went ALL-IN-he called and I lost-opponent had two pairs(his hand was KJo)-I know that preflop allin is a lottery, but really difficalt to stop with AA! What can you say my friends?

That's was very unlucky.You put your money in good and have nothing to regret.I do not understand how someone can goes all in with KJ pre flop specially on tournaments with 215$ BI.

For example you had really much money and 215 is not many for you and you think- not to sit idle for a long time I will go allin if win will playing further -thats why I think people can go allin with KJo)))

People can do what ever they want...But it will always be wrong to go all in with KJ.I see there a little Russian logic:D

I would definitely call an all-in situation with AA, you couldn't be happier to get someone shoving all their chips preflop against you when you have AA. Unfortunately he was very lucky, I know it sucks but just remember that you did the right play and no need to worry about that. In the long run you would earn so much more by this play.

Yeah, that really sucks, but we've all been there. I would rather get sucked out on the first hand than 2 hours into a tournament.

One thing to always keep in mind is while this was over your bankroll, to another player this could have been very little of their bank roll and explain very loose play.

Hit another few satellites and give it another go.

AA all in preflop is always good in begin of any tournament later sometimes is not good for example in bubble and there are lot of short stack and you have to risk all your chips vs more then 1 players or something like that

if the situation comes such that you have to put all your chips in the middle
regardless of whatever buy-in tourney say 215 , 500 , 1000 , even 100 k +
with the top & best hand like AA in any stage of tourney
you should do it because you are going with the top & best hand which u can commit your entire chips with confidence to win most of the times

so in this case what u have done is absolutely correct and just got unlucky for which nothing u can do about it but you should be happy that you put tourney life against marginal hand which you will over win over a long time

I guess the opp has robust bankroll to do pull such move

so happens move on

try again with satty and give a try again

My answer is part what I have read and part what I would like to do - personally I would have likely called, extremely difficult to fold aces. Forget who the source was but a few years ago i was reading about poker strategy for tourneys.

The statement there was that any allin should be avoided. Because you are putting your chips at risk in a lottery, when instead you "should" use patience and position to slowly grind your way to a favorable chip stack.

I have had aces cracked enough, and cracked my share as well to take note of the above statement. But putting it into practice? That I have not done to date.

AA is a hand that is regularly cracked, top pair it may be but still only a pair in your situation most would be glad to go allin, after all its supposedly the best staring hand just unfortunate to have a poor drop

If you fold AA preflop you shouldnt be playing poker... folding should only be done while playing a satellite of some sort and in the bubble

If you are considering folding AA preflop then you shouldn't be playing this tournament.

Before go all in or call someone's bet that require all of youre chips in such torney I would recomand to check previous hands, even if you got AA. Google it for more infos about cards repetition

The sad case. But it is inevitable in poker. Allin is a lottery. I would not have thrown out of AA. Most of all I am enraged Romanians bad аllin.

You should be happy to stick it in with AA and get a call preflop. Do not worry about result nothing you can do it was not your hand to win, cannot predict when you will get unlucky. If you have thoughts of folding this here you should not be playing poker as you will not have any chance of winning.

You made the right move, hold your head high in that. If you fold J3off and the flop comes JJ3 your going to be upset, but you shouldnt, you made the right fold it was garbage even if it did get a lucky hit. same thing with AA you got it in good with AA, and some donk just got lucky, cant be mad, it happens. just know you made a good play ;)

I agree, it's a lottery. but I would not throw AA in this situation against one opponent.

This is the perfect case to build early nice stack. Nobody will throw AA in early stage of the tournament. The only exception could be if you are close to the tickets border and you are with decent stack to wait for the bubble victims.

It's always painful to lose such all ins, but this is part of the game.

I do think that is a good point, against 1 villain I would NEVER fold AA pre-flop, even on the bubble (of course I've had them cracked on the bubble). If there was 2 or 3 all-ins before me, it is something to consider because in a multi-way pot AA get a lot weaker.

This is exactly what you want at the start of a tournament when you have AA but you where just so unlucky he sucked out 2pair on you, it also sucks that it happened in the Sunday Million rather than a smaller tournie as that must've hurt more. :(

In this example you do everythig right - you was with top pair on pre-flop, raising patiently, ask to re-raise. Maybe it was a bot of PS that has known all cards in pack on distant :)

All day everyday! Except if you are playing this same tourney in your case (A cheap sat) If you are on the bubble or close to cashing and the minimum cash is a huge boost or above your bankroll then folding could be the best play for you... If you only play recreationally, then why not take the shot - even on the bubble...

Unlucky man! Keep up the good work!

What Hand is the winningest hand in poker ?
if you always gamble with a pair there is a lot of other hands that can beat it. Giving all 5 cards and having not used your skill to make the player make mistakes is a hard thing to swallow. ask yourself this If the buy in was 25k real money would you do that win or lose and take the gamble ? Or would you use the skill to make the other think about how he wants to play his hand.
too many players want to get that biog chip stack and are always in a hurry and you cant hurry things if they arent working for you. Some times you have to build up a certain table image to get pots from players that will gable.
