Do you usually risk everything you have?

[c0rnBr34d]

I never risk everything because it, in any case, will someday result in losses. And I do not play cash games, I prefer tournaments. In tournaments, your costs are limited and therefore the risk of losing more than you can afford is minimal.

Not to sound negative but this post caught my attention. There is no difference between risking everything in a tournament or in a cash game. You could be in a $200 buy in tournament and have the same decision with AA. Are you also never going to call the all in pre flop then? Alternatively you could be in a cash game online playing 10NL with a $10 stack. Are you never going to call the all in pre with AA there either? I thought the obvious answer (although it doesn't seem obvious from reading some of the posts here) is to only play with what you can afford to lose. That way it doesn't matter if it's a tournament or a cash game when you have the best hand you will never think about folding it. The whole point of the game is to get all the money in the middle when you have the best hand. If you're only willing to do this if your opponent is drawing dead then you should probably find another game to play because that is super rare in poker.

With AA if I have the opportunity to get it all in the middle, it's going in 100% of the time. You're a strong favorite over all other hand's why wouldn't you?

you know how they say, who runs the risk of he will get profit but i would definitely pay all in for hand AAs

I do not agree with you. For me, tournaments are safer because my spending on play is limited by buy-in. When I'm playing cash games, I'm more emotional and I can just spend more than I planned.

That’s fine, we can agree to disagree. Your spending on play is always limited by buy in for both tournaments and cash. Many tournaments have rebuy and add on options as well so you could also spend more than you planned there too. So are you folding the AA in the tournament as well? It sounds to me like the tournament is only safer in your mind since you are less likely to re-buy if that is even allowed. Learning not to spend more than you planned is good. But folding AA in general is bad. If we thought hard we could probably come up with an ICM tournament fold on the bubble in a 9 way all in, closing the action for stacks with AA or something. But in general we should be piling in money pre with AA in both tournaments and cash.

no matter what the distribution is, it is forbidden to throw two aces preflop))

 

[stormyf]

No. On the one hand, I would never put my entire abncroll on 1 page. On the other hand, the AA combination in my statistics is 80% fall, 20% gain.

 

[nghoffman]

If you were willing to put all of your $200 into the game, you absolutely have to be willing to put AA all-in pre=flop.

 

[stylebender72]

AA is the best starting hand so I would put it all on the line in a cash game if I lost my mind and played with all my bankroll as one buy-in

 

[Popescu97]

Sometimes you need to risk with emotions )

 

[Gloria_Legenda]

Why not,sure All in

 

[Tox1cel]

I have lost 100 pounds with AA and he had KK, and guess what? He made 4 of kind and i had full... After that hand i never go all în with AA

With $ 200 in the cash game would you risk calling All in if your hand was A A preflop?+_+

Thank you for your post. With pocket A's preflop I'm gladly getting all my money in. If you're hesitating shoving all in preflop with the best hand ever created then maybe you would feel more comfortable moving down in stakes. A much more skilled and knowledgeable poker player told me not to play anything higher than a cash game my bankroll can cover 400bb in. Thus the amount of money being played for won't influence your decision making and you can just view the players actions as bb bets and what the amounts signify in that particular hand. Hope this helps. Good Luck


Good Luck To All

If you have to ask this, you're playing the wrong game.

 

[walkkking]

Of course i am call. Without risk, there is no victory. If I get an AA, I'm happy to call for allin

 

[Nomahoners]

I lost to quads a few days ago. Had the nut boat. He had the ugly 7. I doubt id play it any different, all in for sure.

Aw! That’s a tough loss for sure. I try not to go all in unless I know I have the nuts or close to them, but there are situations. Especially, when you are the low stack and have your back against the wall.

 

[Rahatis]

Only if they were black aces. Because... It's fun to not have any idea of poker theory.

 

[chattydb4567]

Yes

That’s one part of my game I don’t have trouble with every hand has a chance to be your last unless I’m on trny bubble full steam a head

 

[Syltan]

When playing poker, sometimes you have to risk everything, there’s no getting around it.

Yes, I would risk all in with $200 if I had AA preflop at a 2/5 dollar NL game, I would do it with 1K.

I think it is very hard to fold that hand depends on the players that you have been playing with and if you can call their bluffs or not.

You should not focus on the outcome of one hand, instead focus on what is the average amount you win or lose if the event in question happens an infinite amount of times. If you have the nuts in preflop you should not fear anything and your goal has to be to induce your opponents to put a ton of chips before flop.
