Default Odd WSOP Hypothetical

There's a post on RGP about this...people here must be better thinkers.

First hand at WSOP main event. Table of 10. 7 players ahead of you go all in. You look down at AA. Do you call?

This has only been asked about fifty times on 2+2. If you want to win the tournament, of course you call. Search the archives if you want an in-depth analysis of why.

an interesting spin on this problem is, what if 7 people ahead of you went all in, but you saw that the 7th guy had AA also?

I don't think he meant to be rude, but this one really HAS been done to death each Spring. Defo will be near the top if they ever get FAQs going.....

That probably wouldn't matter to me. I'd have already assumed that the other two aces were gone (AKs twice)

I muck. I want my WSOPME to last longer than 1 hand. For me its more about the expierence than trying to win the tournament on the first hand (which BTW you cannot do obviously).
