I think, if you have pocket Aces on preflop - you should call All-In, in some abstract situation, because you have more than 80% chances to win any other hand, include pocket QQ.. For other hands - you need to think, but AA KK and QQ give you big chances to win another guy, and early in any tournament - you have big chances that your opponent is less clever and professional))A few times now I have got pocket aces to Queens, very early on in a tournament. And another player goes all in. I believe I almost always call. I seem to be losOmg more than I win.
Should I change my strategy and fold?
good depends a lot on the variance and also on the low levels of entries you should enter with paid comfort tickets to your bank so you play saferA few times now I have got pocket aces to Queens, very early on in a tournament.

You shouldn't change your strategy after 2-3 looses, but you need to be ready to get 20% of looses several times in a row, just because you don't know your opponents cards and another 5 cards on table) And more than that - your bankroll should allow you to play
enough times and wait before you will be more lucky.
If I don't like the flop I can fold AA, but if someone goes all in preflop I always call.
why would you want to fold aces here? what are you afraid of, busting out another mtt in the early stages? why does that matter?A few times now I have got pocket aces to Queens, very early on in a tournament.

But the thing is on poker stars , I’m keeping tally, I’ve lossed 5/7 AA all in pre flop. I’m not going to start folding but it makes you think.why would you want to fold aces here? what are you afraid of, busting out another mtt in the early stages? why does that matter?
I am almost always calling with QQ+. I might even call with AK.
It depends on the number of big blinds effective the stacks are and how the action played out to me (plus number of other players in the hand to act behind me).
If someone just goes all-in unprompted opening the action, I think calling TT+ and AQ+ in any fast structure from 100BB and down would be fine. You probably can think about calling worse depending on toughness of table/tournament. I know I'm definitely calling looser if I want to double or bust and move on to something else - having a bigger stack is more fun.
Deeper stacks and especially if it is a raising war pre-flop (3bet, 4bet, 5bet) I'm more likely to tighten up to KK+ and AK against some.
While most sane people aren't bluffing like this and have something they think is the best hand, you will run into people who just go crazy hoping to build a big stack and you have to get an idea of who they are eventually, so call and make a note of what they can show up with in an early all-in for future use.
Good luck to you!![]()
