Folding AA here?
We are playing a $24+2 satellite to a WPT event. Top 4 spots get the $12,500 prize package and all else essentially gets zip. Here are the stacks:
UTG: $10,495 UTG+1: $9,505 Villian: $42,600 Hero: $39,000 Small Blind: $38,000 Big Blind: $40,400 Blinds are 500/1,000 with an ante of 100. The early players fold and Villian moves all-in. |

Re: Folding AA here?
The biggest question is why would villain put his stack on the line for a measly 2100 in chips when there's 3 people to act behind him that can cripple his stack. How has he played so far? What has he gone all in with?
I'd 100% call with AA, but that might be the only hand I call with at this stage. If you double up, get up and walk away from the table because you're going to the WPT. |

[/ QUOTE ] The reason is that there are so many tight player there who will fold KK, some will even fold aces. What risk will you have when people willing to fold aces? There is a huge folding equity here and small chance of getting called. 2100 chips is a quarter of the short stacks. That is a lot chips for later rounds if you lose to a short stack all in call. |

Re: Folding AA here?
I personally can't think of a hand i'm making this all-in move with in this situation. Anyone think this isn't a moronic move on villians part?

Re: Folding AA here?
AA and nothing else. The way I figure it is that with AA, I'm at least an 80% favorite (using very rough odds) on whatever he is pushing with, except for AA. Either way my tournament is over here, 80% of the time with a seat and 20% fuming.
Basically the difference between calling or folding with AA in that spot if I fold with AA here, am I sure that I can outlast both short stacks at least 80% of the time? |

Re: Folding AA here?
I think it far more likely that Big stack has decided to throw his weight around and is looking to double you up. I voted AA-QQ, AK. We can still use a little more equity here. Two players still have to bust out. I highly doubt it will be the two short stacks.

Re: Folding AA here?
I'm calling with AA and KK, and tossing everything else. I'd hate tossing QQ here, for that matter, and AKs would be a bummer to toss, too. But AA and KK for me, and everything else gets mucked.
