Re: Another Question:pre-flop
There are often cases in tournament play where it is correct to fold AK or AQ, even if your opponents can have many worse hands. For example, if they need any ace or pair to go/call allin, you are +chip EV but possibly -$EV to call since you will often be facing a pp and a weaker A.
For medium-large pocket pairs, there needs to be a good chance you are facing a higher pp in order to fold, in general. Craig |

Re: Another Question:pre-flop
Not that I can imagine occurring in my lifetime.
Only case: (almost) everyone calls allin with >~5 people left and 2nd and 3rd pay a reasonably large fraction of 1st. Craig |

Re: Another Question:pre-flop
There are rare cases in tournaments where it is certainly correct to fold AA.
Extreme example: You are in a satellite where the top 5 finishers win a seat to a larger event. There are 6 people left, and 2 equal stacks larger than yours go all in. You should definitely muck your AA, since you are guaranteed to win a seat, barring a tie. |
