Re: (near) winner take all sngs\'
Hiya Iceman,
The only time I would fold AA preflop would be "the Sklansky Scenario" -- satellite tourney with two or more seats to be won, on the bubble, with a smaller stack, and two players all-in ahead of me. In that situation, I can win a seat just by folding.
But in a winner-take-all situation, I'd have to push. In this situation, I have to win it all to win anything. So I don't think folding into a short-stacked heads-up matchup is the best possible use of AA.
Now, if it's KK, the story might be different. With two equal stacks all-in ahead of me, I might lay down KK, and take my chances heads-up. The difference is that one of them is probably on Ax, and any Ace on board kills my KK.
