Default Re: AA 5.50 stars

I think that the stars structure really allows for what some might consider "loose" calls early w/ hands like AK. I think the main argument for my folding would be that I'm out of position. I'm generally not willing to muck AK to a re-raise from a normal 5.50 stars player. I'm willing to be corrected here, but I really don't think calling his re-raise was that big of a mistake if one at all. You said that the only hand that will call my all in are hands that have me beat. I really disagree w/ this. I've seen this opp. call an all in that would put him out of the tourney w/ a flush draw, which makes me think that there is no way in hell he'd fold AQ here or KQ. Obviously I want a fold from my opp here but I think that quite often I'll be called by a hand thats dominated here. If he draws out on me so be it. I think I'd prefer to check and fold rather than check and call any bets w/ AA here.
