Hi guys, tournament play can influence the decision-making process so I wanted to know your play in this type of situation:
You're holding AA on the BB with 30BB / 28 players remains and only 27 get paid. you're in 16th position and the CO who got you covered moves all in. action fold to you.
what's your decision ?
It would depend on how I feel on the day, I have made calls in this type of situation and been right or wrong many times, winning as many times as I have lost, but I have also folded A/A on the bubble, when someone else has already made a call, and I have just sat back and watched as my A/A would have been crushed by one of the other
hands,
Once in a Re-buy + Add-on game I made the bubble without having to Re-buy at any time, but did take advantage of the Add-on at the last minute so besides the Buy-in I also purchased the Add-on and only needed to make the money, to be in profit.
By folding a doomed A/A at a crucial time I manged to make the money, and as in most MTT games, once the bubble burst there was an All-in Fest by the shortest stacks, I actually went on to make the Final Table, where the
real money was.
My only advice to anyone in that situation is use common sense, if making the money is possible, then why risk it if faced with elimination against a bigger stack?
When the fun Stops, STOP!
