If given the oppurtunity in heads up play, to put all your bankroll on AA...do you do it?

I worked way too hard to get my BR to where it is, and I'm not going to open myself up to a 15 % risk of ruin. I also think my chances of doubling up my BR before going broke is at least 99 %, and probably higher.

I'm very surprised at all the "yes" answers.

To the guys who say yes, let me ask it this way: If you know your ROI at a specific game, you can increase the stakes you play to a point where your risk of ruin is 15 %, but your rate of return would also, of course, be much higher. You wouldn't double up in one hand, but you'd do it pretty quickly. Why is putting everything on one hand any better than this?
