It's hard to imagine this in any serious MTT, but if we assume that 4-5 maniacs unexpectedly appeared at the table, then multi-allin is quite possible.Maybe if there are too many players all in
I had forgotten about that league. The first levels were crazy. 😅It's hard to imagine this in any serious MTT, but if we assume that 4-5 maniacs unexpectedly appeared at the table, then multi-allin is quite possible.
I remember the Open League on the PS... There is AA easy fold if you have 2-3 allins from any2 players in front of you.
But calling is still profitable, because you will increase your chip stack with 600-900%, when you win, and you will have more equity than anyone else. Also what is the chance of this actually happening? In millions of hands played online I have never seen it.Not really. These are the best pocket cards. Only if 6, 7 or 8 of 9 players also go all in...then the probability of losing with these cards becomes much greater.
It is difficult to find an arguments. At least I don't think I would be able to find them for myself. If a player is ready to fold pocket aces, then what are his reasons for playing poker at all?I've had aces cracked multiple times in the first couple of hands of a MTT by lunatics that shove with pretty much any two cards. I wonder if there's some sort of ICM argument for folding. The best odds of a single hand cracking your aces is a little less than 25% preflop, but if multiple shoves happen, the odds of one of the shovers cracking your aces goes up. If it were a cash game there's no question because the pot size increases proportionately (or greater than... not sure of the math) to the chances of getting cracked does, so your equity is always good. I think that if it is a deep stack tourney that's not turbo/hyper the case is a little stronger.
Thoughts? Honestly, I don't think I'd fold AA preflop ever (even on the bubble), but it's something I've thought about from time to time, and wonder if anyone has any interesting thoughts.
Negativ or equal ICMWhen you fold AA then what do you expect to have in order to play?
ha, that happened to me in a 1,10$ PKOBut calling is still profitable, because you will increase your chip stack with 600-900%, when you win, and you will have more equity than anyone else. Also what is the chance of this actually happening? In millions of hands played online I have never seen it.
crazy handsWatch this video to the end and you’ll know when to fold aces preflop…
I'd suggest that it isn't taking online play to weaken your game. Suggesting that you'd fold AA if there was a 3Bet + caller that you'd call or fold (depending on your stack). What would your stack size have anything to do with the decision in that spot? That is an extremely simple 4bet spot (for starters).I believe you have a very strong argument for doing just that…fold them if you have no equity in the pot. I am struggling with the same problem… I more often lose with a high pocket pair to a table with more than 3 players in the pot. If I’m in middle position and no raiser I’ll come in for 2.5 BB, but if I get more callers or reraiser and another caller behind the ReR then depending on my stack I will call or fold. I’m finding my poker game is weakened by playing online, why? cause it feels so staged with the algorithm that’s play out, and if you play like most poker pros teach then it feels like the game will play a flop which doesn’t connect with you but will often play to the weaker hands that follow into pots and you need to fold your chips away or try to hero out…which never works.
