An all-in AA with more than 2 other people is a bad idea, but the circumstances might not let you still fold it (after already a big 3bet for example).
The law of Murphy will come in, what can go wrong, will go wrong! ;)

AA preflop is the best hand with the best chances so I would pay!

AA

As many others have said it depends what type of game it is and where you stand as far as winning a ticket to a big tourney or getting into the money.
Yes sure is hard to fold AA but then again with 3 players already going all in your odds go down to winning as I have had AA and lost many times to pocket 3's or someone hitting a flush.
Again all depends and what you are willing to lose. Hard to know you might be selling the ranch in a game where you are in the top 10 where calling might knock you out of the money.
GL ALL! :D

The situation is very difficult, one against one, I play it without hesitation, but playing all in pre-flop many times loses, :eek:

depends if tourney or cash game.

Microstakes cash or tourney yes.

The closer you are to the bubble and the position you'd be in if you lost and how that affects your chances of being in the money impacts as well, so if it's a 3 way all in with 1 to the money and you don't cover everyone then you should probably fold.

When 3 or more players go all in. I wanted to know what you do in this situation. Thank you.

Good afternoon friend! It varies a lot from basic information to having players' notes at the table and the buy value ... and so on.

it's a difficult decision because you'll mostly lose against 3 or more also depending on which face the tournament goes against 3 promissory notes all in against more very difficult

Well, look, in such cases on MTT tournaments (in which I mostly play), when the bubble fight is not close, and I cannot easily hold out until it is not playing at all, then of course I will bet if there are 3-4 people, but there is the whole table is 6+, then I'll fold, I think, yes

In my case, I only play MTT, not always all in AA preflop is a good strategy.

Well only if you are on a sattelite with a place guaranteed or maybe in a bubble with the mind cash being a life changing money (and you have enough blinds to survive the bubble).

Most of the times I would go all in, but not all the times! It depends from the informations I have from the game.

In a cash game or most tournaments, I would shove, but in a satellite, or on the bubble in a large tournament I could consider a fold sometimes.

Good Night

AA KK These are good cards for everything pre-flop but if you want to guarantee a good payout then it varies from 3x or even 5x or limp too. In my case, style variations to confuse you. :)

You don't have to fold it, you always have to play it even if you're unlucky, this is a strong hand that often plays

I think it would depend of what stage and my amount of chips, but even with 3 players in, I would call more than 90% of the times.

90% of the time I go all-in. 10% includes many options, from the number of players in the game to the size of my stack.

Apart from the very valid satty bubble argument,...
it is also acceptable to fold AA pre if you are near the bubble of a tourney that you won entry to in a satty.
say you won a $500 ticket in a satty...your entire bankroll is say $100...min cash is $1000...you are on the bubble...you can fold with a clear conscience if the call would bust you if you lost.
But it is not in the spirit of the game. Go Big or go Home.

The only reason i would ever fold aces preflop is at the final table with really specific requirements.

- At the final table when I'm substantially behind in blinds (less than 2 big blinds) and everyone else at the table has very similar, and relatively large stacks. Enough people at the table have to go all in to warrant a fold. For example: final seven, at least four other people would have to be all in or be forced to call all in for me to fold. therefore, I'd be expect to get third place. This is better than having a favorable chance to quintuple (5x) my stack because of the fact that when I lose (I'm assuming about 40 or 50% of the time given the fact it would be a 5 way pot) I place 7th in the tourney. And, when I don't, I'd be placed 3rd or 4th of four players remaining which isn't much better than a near guaranteed forth place.

In any other situation, I cannot fathom the idea of folding aces preflop. They are simply too good to fold. Run pocket aces through a preflop odds calculator, they are never going to be -EV to go all in with preflop.

Here's CardChat's odd calculator if you want to test it yourself. (It doesn't calculate equity; you'd have to do that yourself on another website)

Two very good responses here. Says everything I wanted to say, except better worded. Nice posts! :)

for the moment yes, always allin but I understand that I should learn that the right thing to do is not always allin and much less with several committed players, but it really costs me a lot to throw aa
