Call or fold?

Hi guys!
I have one task for you here
You reached the final table in the Sunday Million tournament, at the table of 9 players.
You have the second largest stack. The distribution begins, you get AA and you sit on the button, ChipLeader sits next to you in the small blind, all players fold their cards, your turn, you open 3-BET, ChipLeader puts All-In in the small blind, the player on the big blind folds ... What will you do in this situation? (I remind you that the players at the table are 9, and the prizes are significantly different)

Call, AA is way to strong to fold here. I think we should go with KK too, fold AK and probably fold QQ aswell. Ofcourse this depends on the stacksizes more and we'd need to know a little more info about how deep we are, and how short the rest is.

It depends on which card I have in the hand, if I have AK KK AA QQ, then I will continue to play and I will go all-in, if I have a small card, I will fold and wait for a good card!

I call of course! AA is the best hand for it.

I think in this situation it makes sense to call

I think in this situation it makes sense to call. There is always the possibility that you will lose, even if you have AA in your hands. But here you can look at the situation from the other side, if you make a call and win the hand, then you will become a chip leader and you will get a lot more chances to win a higher prize place. And if you make a pass, then it is not known which card you will receive in the next distribution, and there is a chance that you will lose the whole stack on the blinds. In the beginning, you first need to understand which goal you are following. If the goal is to take the highest possible place, then of course you need to call.

its really tough decision with that much money on the line but, if you win you double twice your chips against every other player, and you also have the best hand, I could not fold AA I would call with this strong.

Easy call, if you fold AA you shouldn't even be opening on the button because then SB can shove any two cards profitably.

this is impossible situation no way second stack goes allin against first one... he can 3 bet you and if you 4 bet he can go allin but this situation just cant happen as you describe it

I'll call from AA. And if the KK or something else is folded.

At first sight it should be easy call. But your decision depends on which situation you are. If an ammount of prize money for any place (1-9) would be the biggest in your life, there is one more option - fold. Why fold? Yes, of course, a pair of aces is the best starting hand, but you may know that even such a strong hand have сhances to lose. Let`s assume the villain shoves most of the times with premium hands (lower pair JJ, QQ, KK or AKs). In accordance with calculations you have 80/20 % advantage against lower pair, that means you will win four times and one time lose on distance in situations like this. I am willing to fold if it would be life changing ammount of money for me. There will be much more opportunities to get chip leader`s stack not risking as much.

if they move me, with aces, that will be what to remember

With my luck, easy FOLD!

You did not 3-Bet there, you was opening with 2-Bet.

And of course you should call this with AA. With what else, you want to call?

Easiest get it in of all time, no matter how important of a FT it is for you.

Fold!

I prefer to hold position than take any risk .. It's bad decision for the second stack to go all-in against first one... especially when you are playing on PS)))

Hahahaha

Call 100 times! why not?

of course it's a call, if you play successfully, you will have a mega stack ...Do you always fold when the second stack goes all-in?

Literally never folding here, not even an option. Doesn’t matter what you’re up against, you’re the favorite. Always get in, high five friends, and tell Mom to get the camera.

You have to call, AA is the best hand and you have to push your chips in with the best hand.

The hand is stronger than 80%, against QC and QQ and 92% against AK. But I would fold on the final table against the chip leader. At the final table, you need to put pressure on players with a smaller stack and take the chips from them. Well this is my opinion.:hmmmm:

It could matter what kind of stakes you are playing in general. If you are a micro player and you qualified and got a good run of cards reaching the final table, maybe you could fold. Although you couod take a risk and when you win( 4 out of 5) you will get at least 50.000 bucks. If you are a low to mid stakes player you have to call for sure.

Definite call from me, I don't see how you would fold AA but then again I am very unlucky and they would probably have 72 off suit and flop a full house.
