I read a short paragraph in SS2 written by Phil Helmuth where he wrote about having a month-long discussion with Mike Matusow about decision to fold pocket aces if someone else went all-in, forcing you to call with all of your stack. He went on to say that he “ finally threw it away” without describing the particular event or situation.
I’ve always thought of pocket aces as a rapid auto-call if some shoved before me, period. But after reading that, I considered what occasions I might need to change that way if thinking.
One scenario that came to mind, and I may have already done it without remembering it, is if we’re at the bubble in a type of tournament where a certain amount of surviving players all win the same prize, such as double-or-nothing, survival, or satellite entry to a higher tournament - I have a large stack and 1 or two other players ( not in the hand) are 1x -3xBB
But I’m pondering other scenarios.
Thoughts, anyone?
