Re: I folded AA. Was this the correct move?
Well.... the situation would have to be extreme to the utmost, which this isn't. There was a situation earlier on the MTT forum (I forget who posted it) where the guy lost in the SB and had like T700 left with the blinds T5000/T10000 on the button; 18 places pay 21 players left. Since even 4xing up would still barely give him half a small blind, so say he managed to 4x himself and then 3x himself he STILL wouldn't be able to post the BB without going allin. Thus his chances for moving up in the money were essentially zero, not enough to compensate for the chance his aces would lose.
But anyway, this situation is not nearly as extreme as that one, since you have a very good chance of taking first if you call. So, easy call.
