With AA pair firsthand in a tournament, he'll go all in, must pay.

Recently it falls with one AA hand for calling an ALL IN. A great poker player would go in a hand like this or would you fold them for the beginning of the tournament? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE OPINION OF YOU.

AA i would play like a strong pair. For me I play all my cards the same so it is harder for the other players to read me. If someone goes all in and I have AA then yes I would.

AA is always the best hand pre-flop. It smashes against one other opponent but reduces in equity against 2 or more.

So was your situation against one opponent or two?

I don't know why you're playing if you don't call an all-in with AA. Whether it's the first hand or after you've been playing for 4 hours, the best hand is the best hand.

I believe that there is no point in going all-in at once. To start, you can bet 5-7BB. Poker tournaments are not won at the very beginning.

The all-ins first hands are mostly called in micro/low tournaments, at a higher level player tend to play better and they won't do anything stupid first hand.
But you should clearly raise with it ! If someone raise before you, either 3-bet/4-bet or jam !

The only way I could think of folding AA preflop at the start of a tournament is if there is already too much people all-in in that hand. AA is a really great hand, but against 3 or 4 other players, your chances to loose are a lot higher than against 1 or 2 !

You just cant fold AA,its best starting hand so you are always favorite to win

there are several topics that answer this exact question. Why are we starting new threads when there are so many of the same question?

You can not, never throw AA before preflop, be it the beginning or end of the tournament! You need to blow up the bank as much as possible.

Agree, the chances are decreasing, but even in this case you are ahead! This is the meaning of winning poker- to play all the chips when you have a large percentage to win! And the bet bits will always happen, you fold or you do not

To get the scenario clear:
- beginning of MTT
- a player goes all-in
- you (hero) have AA
question: Call or fold?

In case of 8 people going all-in, fold is an option, as I doubt you'll have 40% chance of winning.
In case you're the only one: just call, chance of winning the hand is fantastic.

But, as others have said: this scenario mainly applies to common freerolls.

Even in the CC FRC:
- if you go all-in preflop early in the tourney: you either get the blinds (almost nothing), or bump into AA or KK (and get eliminated).

I'm sorry if I did something wrong but I think it's unnecessary to call me lazy but thank you for your manners.

AA preflop is best hand..get your chips when you are way ahead is the way to be!!

I would never remove them, I would just try to play them very carefully, I do not like to risk it so early in the tournament, but if they bet everything I think I would pay

You can't get much better odds than AA vs anything preflop all-in. AA beats every other hand by at least 78%. Calling all-ins with it is a no-brainer at any stage of a tournament.

With AA hand - only a raise, raise up to all-in. Your task is to get everyone to fold and leave 1 maximum of 2

I want my bet to be called. The less a person is in the game, the better
If the opponent puts 3-bet or all-in, then I'll put all-in.

What hands are you waiting for then? If only from maniacs ... Otherwise you will simply lose equity fearing for your aces

Easy to throw away in a multi pot at any time or on the bubble.

Many threads and discussions to review but never say never.

Situation the real bubble one more bust and you get paid. Short stack at the table on the button 7 opponents. UTG raises to put you all in. 2 folds and 2 calls action is on you in the big blind with 3 to 5 opponents and you have AA. real money not a $1 bubble.

if it is a question of tickets, then with the passing stack is not worth the risk. And if you play for the sake of small payments, and not for the sake of victory, then why play at all? Of course, if you have a stack of 4-5 bb, then there is no sense ... But it's very rare for a player to realize a stack to that. If my opinion does not coincide with yours, it does not mean that it is not correct

In this case, we are talking about the beginning of the tournament, where the stack size relative to the blinds is large. And if the opponent does not call my bet, then I still win)))

If you don’t dare to call with AA
then you shouldn’t be playing poker....
Any other hand is worse, so if you fold
Aces you have to fold anything except
for the one time where you flop a royal
Flush in the big blind position....
And I don’t think that only playing a single hand in your life will lead to a big success in poker....
