Going all in pre with a pair

[FroZeeN89]

I prefer to follow the line to put together a strategy, and if your bank allow worth rather be bold surely take you to the top.

I believe its worth the based on if you can rebuy and what the other bets before you are representing. I would fold pocket AA with 3 all ins or more even though i have the best hand starting, that's just me. You have to play your style but don't give up a winning hand online players are hard to read sometimes.

AA is not easy to fold but with 3 other all ins the safe play would be to fold.

Whether or not to shove all-in with KK or lower pairs depends on many factors. You should even fold AA sometimes.Every situation is different.

In cash games, just ask if you're willing to risk your whole stack, and are you confident that your opponent (hopefully there's only one) doesn't have AA. For me, if an opponent is being unusually aggressive preflop and I have KK or lower pair, I fold.

In MTT, blind structure/ speed and stack sizes (in a turbo definitely shove because you need to keep making chips),what stage of the tourney it is (bubble/ICM pressure?), tendencies of(tight, loose, etc.) and number of opponents, whether or not you are able or willing to rebuy.

I am going to try to get as many chips in the pot as possible with KK before the flop. The exceptions to that are extremely rare.

Of course it's possible to lose sometimes with KK when all in pre-flop, but it is the second best starting hand and a huge favorite against everything but AA.

If you're afraid of losing, you will never win.

You have to jeopardize chips to accumulate chips so it seems best to do it when you likely have the best hand.
