I would still go with AA to All-in because it's a strong hand and I wouldn't drop it better to increase my chips and play on the final table than play for the top place because we came to take first places

well, if you are not worried that you can fly out of the tournament without a prize at all, then you can raise

Good to see so many logical thinkers in this thread. I’m guilty of folding AA and other premium hands far more times than many could stomach (mainly live mind.). The variables of the situation is key as blindly committing to this dogs bollocks pre holding can sink your very nicely accumulated stack. In this instance (assuming it’s a large mtt) on the bubble I’m folding. Min cashing at it’s worst is more preferable as your struggling. Obviously you would have shoved or restricted number of villains in an earlier position.

Always raise with AA unless you know the traits of who your playing, losing with AA is tilting to soo many lol

It depends on the format of the tournament, if it is a bounty tournament and u cover one or even two of the players than i would say bring it in...But if it is a normal NLH and u r on the direct moneybubble than u have to think about if u even fold it pf... ;)

Never miss out on what's actually happening in the game, especially when it's your turn. If you spot something noteworthy but run into a situation that needs your full attention, play the hand. Always consider raising with aces, don't limp and try to be tricky. Being in a multiway pot on the flop is the last thing you should want.The ideal situation is to go heads-up on the flop. As such, don't limp with AA from early position, it's a dangerous tactic and you should avoid it. After all, if you limp in, there are likely to be a few other opponents on the flop with you, which means you'll have to bury your hand if you encounter significant action.You should try to keep betting post-flop yourself in order to build the largest possible pot. It is not recommended to slowplay with these kinds of hands. You will make a lot more money by playing straight with them.Of particular note is the fact that aces are definitely not the hand to slowplay with. Many amateur players succumb to this addiction simply because AA is the #1 starting hand. But that's just preflop. Things change post-flop, and if you miss a set, you only have one pair.

it's amazing for me to read comments where they advise you to fold A A with 15 blinds on a bubble, to be honest, even if it's a turn with a $1 bitcoin and you go into prizes and win $10, should you try to take first place, fold this hand and then wait for a good card for 200 hands? all in in this situation, a very easy hand to play, of course no limps or bluffs

With 15bb only, when you get a good couple of cards, you go all in. If you start folding and playing passive, then sooner or later your small stack will vanish. So with the aces you go all in and you have many chances to win, without excluding surprises!

Earlier or yesterday Im mentioned about limping with AA and only doing so if you can ascertain what your targeted opponent is likely to do. I just happened to play a hand a moment ago where I intentionally limped from UTG+1 with the intention to raise enough to keep him interested Andy then to punish him when he made the move or overplay I know I said his way of play 9 times of 10. His a very fishy player with chips and overly aggressive blindingly.. He insta jams on me with no though thinking his got the best of it lol....Hand below.... I hold KK by the way.

It's a difficult decision, it depends on each player. I go all in.
