Stanzee masterclass: folding AA preflop

[stanzee]

I was inspired to post this after i read another thread on folding AA. I think this is a lot closer.

Basic history: Since being ITM, i've been running the table over and created a mini bubble. I'm in the SB, shorty is in the BB. Here's the hand i fold AA preflop ($33):

Table Table 63535 (Real Money)
Seat 7 is the button
Total number of players : 3
Seat 7: villain1 ( $2780 )
Seat 8: hero ( $4680 )
Seat 10: villain2 ( $540 )
Trny:16588760 Level:7
Blinds(150/300)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to hero [ Ac Ah ]
villain1 folds.
hero folds.
villain2 does not show cards.
villain2 wins 450 chips
>You have options at Table 62464 Table!.


Thoughts? No need to call me a genius on the basis of this. This isn't even in the top draw of intellectual moves i regularly make!

Can you run over a table itm?

This seems like a very bad idea passing up the obvious value of AA for the possible value of a tight itm mini bubble. Why are you making things so hard on yourself with this tourny? I really think your fold wasn't value motivated but more "Look at how good I must be. To pass up aces becuase cards don't matter when I play." motivated.

Edit: I chaged my mind. Don't tap the glass.

Terrible fold.

This is ITM, not on the bubble. MAYBE on the bubble, but his stack is even a little large for that.

You are not going to boss most players around ITM, ever.

just giving you the gears, stanzee, i like your style, keep it up.

lol you really are "the special one"

Personally, I loosen up a bit ITM, but that's just me. Seriously, if this isn't a joke, the logic goes right over my head. Take his last few chips and work Villian 1 over HU.

I know what you're saying, and in most cases you're correct, you cant boss as much ITM. But in this case i was sensing the middle stack was playing for 2nd and the small stack was't getting involved at all.

My instincts proved to be correct. When i carried on hammering at the middle stack he kept folding and ironically ended up busting 3rd, leaving an easy heads up with me and shorty.

So yes, i am a genius [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
