I know I'm gonna get flamed, but I don't give a damn, so he goes:

I think the question would be more interesting, if I were to hold AA. My answer maybe still would be "fold". I normally play $10's and $20's so if I actually qualified for the big one, I'd go there with the intention of enjoying every minute of it while beeing outplayed by all the big names. I would cry for days if I were sucked out upon in the very first hand and had to leave the tourney after a full minute of play.

On the other hand, I would of course for the rest of my life wonder what would've happended if I hadn't folded those rockets. So basically, I hope I get shitty cards, when I play at the WSOP [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Flame away.....

Well, if your only goal at the WSOP is to sit and fold hands so you can 'get your money's worth', then by all means, fold AA in that situation.

Now, if you want to play correctly, folding would not be the right thing to do.

i fold everything besides AA. and i have to be sure im going HU with the guy. first hand and you're taking a risk with KK for your entire tournament? come on. Who would move in on the first hand w/o AA, KK, or *possibley* AK either way its too much of a risk to take.

Here's what I do and if I get the chance, what I will do barring actually being flashed AA.

Ok, first I start laughing histarically, poker face be damned. Then, I stand up and yell get the cameras over here this is my 15 mins. I call and probably lose to the AJo this guy thinks is so great a hand, when not only does an ace flop but he hits running jacks for a boat.

I then tell everyone who will listen about how I just busted out of the tourney on the first hand.

having Big Slick might change my play her, but if it is sooted, I'm in.

I think AKs is an EASY, EASY fold.

I also definitely fold QQ, because there are now two hands that have you dominated and one hand that has you at a coin flip.

I call everytime with KK. I am not good enough to fold KK preflop.
