An Interesting WSOP scenario...

[djdonnel]

A friend and I were discussing the following scenario:

You're in the WSOP (or any other big buy in/large field, multi-day nl tourney).

You're dealt pocket aces on the first hand (or very very early on, meaning everyone's stacks are still pretty much even, and you haven't had much of a chance to scout out the play of everyone at the table). You are faced with calling an all-in raise (either someone went all in before you acted, or you made a raise, and were reraised all-in). Do you call with your rockets, or muck em?

Does your decision change if you're sitting at a table with a bunch of unknowns at the table vs taking a seat and finding the likes of Chan, Ivey and Hellmuth all sitting to your left?

I'd love to hear some thoughts...
