AA on the BB
It's a full 9 handed table and everybody has an equal amount of chips. UTG pushes all-in, then all the other players call all-in as well. You're in the BB looking down at AA. What do you do in the following situations:
A) Final table of the WSOP main event B) First Day in the WSOP main even C) A High Stakes Cash game

Re: AA on the BB
You can't throw away this hand unless you've got a situation such as you owe a bunch of money to the mob and if you lose your stack Joey is waiting outside to bump you off [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: AA on the BB
the only way this many players is going to call all in as well is if they have high pocket pairs or just very bad players with this many people AA is going to get beat too often to make it profitable and its just too big of a risk at a tournement

Re: AA on the BB
You don't need to win half the time to make the cash game call profitable, you need to win more than 1/9th of the time, which you will.
Folding in the cash game is insane. Folding in the first-day WSOP situation is insane unless you are such a poker god that skipping this hand to play the rest of the tournament -1BB is a higher EV than calling a 9-handed pot with the nuts. Folding on the final table situation will probably be correct since you all but guarantee second place which is higher EV than taking the gamble.

Re: AA on the BB
It is a good idea to accumulate ALOT of chips early.

I realize you might want to bypass some EV in a tournament on occasion, but this is way to much to pass up. If you each has 1000 chips, and you will win 30% (pretty conservative) of the time, you EV is 10000(.3) - 1000(.7)= 2300. It is hard to believe anyone's edge in this tournament is big enough that they can pass up a situation where the average result is to more than double his stack.
