Default Drawing Dead Preflop with KK

You're at the final table of a multitable tournament, 6 players remain. You look down and see a handsome pair of cowboys staring right back at you in the BB. Before the action gets to you, something miraculous happens. EVERY PLAYER AHEAD OF YOU GOES ALL IN! You call, happy to get it in with this monster pair.

The first two show their cards... QQ and QQ! Hurray! You think, there is no way they'll win. Then the next guy turns over AA, and so does the next guy! DAMN! Well at least I can hit a King to win it. But what about the last guy... he flips KK! You get up from the table, knowing that you've already lost.

So the next time you see those cowboys, take a second and think before you reach for those chips. You may already be dead.

Pairs can't flop a straight, and nobody but QQ can make a straight with all 4 kings and all 4 queens gone.

Folding would have a cash EV of ~15-30% of the prize pool.

I'll be sure to remember this for all those times I get kings and every player at the table goes all-in.


Wait what if I get aces on the first hand of the WSOP main event and everyone goes all-in in front of me!!! Should I call then?

Eh? Depends on how much you value playing at the tournament compared to getting a large stack early on.

Make the first two guys have tens and two more with 5's and you have it. As it is, everyone can chop. (ex. Board comes 34567 no four flush)

Actually you donīt need to have two guys with AA. As long as one is sitting with AA in the same suit as your kings you can draw dead with only 5 people at the table.

I was wondering based on this question. What is the minimum number of players where you can daw dead preflop with AA? My guess would be around 11 opponents, but I havn't checked.
