AA fold

... AA is the best hand to go multiway with.

AA has the best chance against any one opponent. If you are HU w/ AA you are usually a 75%-95% favorite. But multiway, (3 people all-in before you) you drop to a roughly 55% favorite. I guess from a pot adds perspective it is a call, but I hate to miss ITM when I am guaranteed by folding. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I ONLY SAID FOLD IF ALL 3 WERE ALL IN BEFORE ME!!!

However, in applying the pot odds to the equation, I see that I might be wrong to fold there... but pot odds are not soley the basis for making ALL decisions.

you should never play NL hold em again. This play made both me and baby jesus cry.

Dont ever fold AA preflop again. EVER

Reading the subject line, I was expecting an "I have AA, but the flop came out 9-10-J suited, and the turn was an 8 of the same suit, four pf callers and they've all shown aggression, good laydown?"

But no, this is plain horrible. This could be the new "fold AA" thread in the FAQ to stop players from doing it.

I play for first. 3rd is seriously worth nothing to me.

this is a really, really stupid thing to write and i am sure you didn't mean it, but if you did you should write a retraction and spend a few hours begging the poker gods for forgiveness before continuing with your poker career.

In the context that you put it in, it looks bad. But seriously, if you finish in the money 50% of the time and all those finishes are 3rd place finishes, you're a losing player.

I'm not saying I wouldn't mind 3rd if I had no other choice, but I would not stop pushing on the bubble if it gets me closer to first.

folding AA pf is -ev

You've resigned yourself to getting 3rd place when you could easily throw yourself into running for the actual money. That's not good.
