Re: Playing AA in big multi-player pots
Who said anything about four tournaments in a few years? It's not that rare in the cheap tourneys.
Thanks to Pzhon, who hit me over the head with a fact that I was ignoring: In a multi-player all-in situation, you're not up against random hands. You're probably up against very good hands. So those random hand stats can be thrown out the window. I get it, I get it. Although in these cheap tourneys those non-random "good" hands can be as weak as Ax, Kx, or even Qx. I see it all the time. So I understand why those lesser hands like K9 and 55 have much less than a 30% chance of beating a group of non-random all-in hands.
It's also pretty obvious that if there are three all-ins before you, you can probably bet one of them has AA. So you'd fold anything other than AA in this spot, right? Just out of curiousity, what are the odds that KK can beat three very good starting hands, one of which is AA?
