Can AA be overvalued preflop early in MTT?

[Siawyn]

true.. I figured I'd assume worst case scenario for a post like this. =P

I would NEVER fold AA heads up in any game preflop NEVER. That would be a horrible mistake. However, if it was early in the tournament first few rounds I might lay it down to 3 all ins before me. Winning a pot that early helps you but its wont guarentee anything about making the final table. You let laday luck intheir. This actually happened to me i had KK in a tournemt 4 all ins before me i folded. Im not sure but i assume i would lay it down with 3-4 people in. This is again assuming it was early in a big torunent and i have a big stack. Short stack its an obvious all in given any circumstance.

I dont care if the whole table goes all-in in front of me, I call with AA everytime.

KK is totally different, at that point you have to give reasonable thought to someone having the aces there

Why fold to 3 or 4 raisers? You are likely to have at least 1 if not more playing A-K or A-Q, and in a terrible spot. You are obviously going to be facing another large pair, maybe 2 but these are likely to be K-K or Q-Q and likely to have outs taken by A-big kicker.

This position is fantastic, I understand you don't want to risk your whole tourney, but you might not see another hand for 1hr. You are in a fantastic position to take early control of your table and the whole tournament, surely you've got to play it. If it gets cracked..that's life.

whenever you can get your chips allin preflop with AA, do it.
There is nothing simpler than that.
It is ridiculous to think otherwise.

That's one of the funniest responses I've ever read.
