In this case of win or nothing, it would be irrational to take the risk of going out and press it all. If it’s just a pay jump, of course it’s allin

Only with I'm in the bubble short stack and lots of players go all-in, but it's almost impossible to that happens, so almost never.

only when the reward is tickets, the stack is big enough and I get into the prizes.

Standard fold here, although the open raised can never open literally any 2 cards, 9 players remain, 8 get a 10K seat, and Lex Veldhuis is 4th / 9 players. Also, BB's position will affect all smaller stacks in the next orbit and the initial bet is 1500.
I guess it's one of the few times we can double AA preflop that easy.


I totally agree, but it also depends on who pays the hand as well

I would never abandon it, I would always raise strong preflop and it is an insta call if my bet is reraised or if all the chips are thrown at me.

If I had an average stack on a bubble, I would throw AA.But with such a short stack like a hero, I would definitely call)))If you don't play with aces, why play poker at all?)))))

Of course, never. Only raise or re-raise. And the willingness to play for the whole stack. However, if memory serves, Dan Fishman threw out his aces on the preflop. Against Mercier and Laak. Fishman (AA pass), Mercier 44, Laak 66 (Flop 6 King 6). A premonition?

why would you fold the best hand pre-flop?
anything can happen sure, but the odds are in your favor

Only on the bubble or satellite, or pay jump when I have a big stack, going against another big stack. (or at very beginning of a freezeout tourney)I rather pick my All Ins against big stacks on my terms. if its a medium or small stack - calling it.

In this situation, it is justified to go all-in. Although I don't like this move. Because there are no tactics or strategies. Opening the cards will solve everything. Although the chances of winning are high.

in a sat and on the bubble I think it wasn't a mistake to fold. but i play sats very seldom so i have no experience with it but i know that there are completely different things to consider in sats. If it were a normal tournament then i would definitely not fold pre-flop with AA. But it's not a normal tournament and you always have to adapt to the circumstances and sometimes be able to fold even if it's AA

Depends on the situation i guess. Dtrong starting hand, but if you are dealt with QQ7 example and someone holding a Q, its a difficult call.

I never had to fold, but I believe that in some cases I would fold without problems
