would you fold AA ??

[roo27]

ok was just in the £100 garented off to a bad start so was short staked when i get delt AA but with 1 raser and a all im push befor me was it a good call would it of been better to of folded and waghted for a 1 on 1 opertunaty as buy calling i know id be up aganst at least 2 callers(as it was it was 3 as someone elce called to) and as we know AA can be a gr8 starting hand but hard to improve on after flop so is danerus with more tham 1 caller ?? see the hand for your self here and leave you thoghts as i did consider folding but being short staked disided it was werth the risk to regain a playerble postion in the game . but it would not be the 1st time i have folded aa pre flop

i dont think you can fold AA pre-flop even againt 2 hands, ok a full table of callers chances are you'll loose
just unlucky he hit 2 pair
unfortunatly with AA, to hit 2 pair the board has to pair

[roo27]

simala thinking kev but i have folded AA pre flop in the past when there has been 2 or more players already pot comited when iv not wanted to risk the chips i have at the table like i sead i did consider folding here but it was the low stack i was on that convinced me to call had i been on 1500 chips in this potion i think i would of folded as i woudent want to risk going aganst 3 other players with it

[BlackLava]

My point of vue : I don't think you can fold AA outside very rare situations where paid ranks are close enough and pay enough to justify a fold ( for example in a "double or nothing" 10 seaters SNG or a 5 seat guaranteed tournament, if you are six remainings and 2 players yet all in you know that you have a chance to be paid instantly just by folding and going all-in won't help building a stack to hit first rank as it won't pay more ).
In other cases players folding AA are the ones playing scared money, you have to got the bankroll behind to play your AA with the sufficiant bullets to continue the aggression over next games and you can't lose that way when holding AA and playing it right way

dont get me roung on a ring table i would never fold AA pre flop but when it come to a tornament i put a lot of waght on just staying in and buying my time sitting back and letting others get on with it till the latter stages of a torny and dont like comiting my self to any 1 pot
as a example of this in the ultra torny today i maneged to place 2ed with only playing 7 hands the hole torny and 3 of them was heads up

[elpoulpo]

given the fact your where short stack, I never have folded at your place

[street66]

i wouldnt of folded AA mate but i got lucky and doubled up the hand before this lol went on to get 5th.

you were really ul mate

Interesting dilemma Roo - It's early in the game - plenty of time to come back - doesn't cost you anything to fold. You have a single pair against 3 other players.

I say, what the hey - shoot the works and join another tournament.

never fold pre flop with aa but can easily fold them after
think one of my worst beats was aa vs aa and lost to flush

[stevo_58]

I wouldn't have folded and I would have gone all in just as you did.

[rad6]

I would never have folded AA preflop, the odds are in your favour, you just got unlucky. I also would have gone all in and taken my chances. Have lost with that hand but have won more often than lost.

standard call, your a big favourite agaisnt these guys,
also you are shortstacked... you NEED to double up and this is a perfect oppurtunity, theres nothing you can do about the run of the cards... unlucky mate
