Depends. How many players went all-in? What is the game? In cash, turbo/hyper turbo tournaments, sng and any freerolls you don't fold AA preflop ever I think.

The situation in your example of course, ticklish. If I played in a tournament with a high, cash buy-in, then maybe I would have dropped my pocket aces, but in freeroll games I'd go one-in, all-in. :rolleyes::cool:

If I have two aces, I would probably go all-in, but it all depends on how many players there are at the table, how many players will confirm all-in...

it all depends on the game, if it's a tournament and I have a small Bank, I will play all-in .if I have a good position and I have a lot to lose, then I fold.

I'm all-in. And I never slowplay AA. Like they say, with pocket aces, win a small pot, lose a big pot. But my aces have been cracked so many times my husband says I should fold them preflop.....NOT :p

In certain situations folding aces makes sense in a tournament in a cash game never. Remember that the chips are worthless at the begining of a tournament. I would fold kings if the tournament was $250 buy in.Would I want to double up for worthless chips and risk 30%70%....kings don't make that much sense when you think about it....but aces are guaranteed min.3 to 1

AA preflop is 100% all in, but practice shows that quite often AA loses, but if you do not go all in with AA, then with what then?

Depends on position. In late position if the seat cost a lot then it's an easy fold.

Fold aces in omaha everytime if nothing suited to them.

When I have AA I go all-in, sometimes they do not pass, but most of them play fine, AA is all-in for me, but rarely I can raise 3 or 4 bets!

Normally I just put out a standard raise and go from there. Folding pocket aces pre is only really optimal in certain situations in satellites.

If you have AA you go all in no matter what, even is there are 8 players already all in.

If it's pre-flop, then you always want to go to the all-in. However, if you know that players at the table are playing a low-key game, then raising to 3-4 blinds will be a better solution

Go all in, get crushed by the guy who had two pairs like 3/7, call him a donk, tilt, lose half your bankroll, take a break, come back, get pocket Aces again, go all in, win and forget about it. :)

If you want to win a tournament you must aggressively play strong hands ... and what better way to start a tournament with AA ... and several villains have played all in preflop since then I call all in ... but if the situation it's different ... and you've made a 3-bet and two more villains have called to see the flop ... after the flop you've made a continuation bet and one or both villains play all in ... I'll I would think a bit about why it could be that one of the villains has connected a set ... and the best decision is to fold

I appreciate all the answers. But several times I lost with AA when I started to play them. I gave the opponents a chance to collect straight or flush and it worked for them. Now only all in.:D
