Default Re: Another Question:pre-flop
it depends on how terrible your opponents are and what stage of the tournament you are in. the only generally SAFE hands to call all in with are AA/KK, and QQ/AK to a lesser extent.

AA is invulnerable preflop. KK is only REALLY hurt by AA. any ace will only win about 30% against it. QQ is where the trouble starts: AA and KK thrash it, and AK is 50/50. JJ is considerably worse: AA/KK/QQ/AK/AQ/KQ. etc. just consider your hand, and consider how likely it is for somebody to hold and move in with a hand that is WORSE than yours.
