Kev40 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just couldn't bring myself to do it. Only scenario i had was a satellite to a $215 tournament where top 25 qualified. 26 left in and sat in about 9th place with about 2 mil. Chips didn't carry through to the main event and the chip leader went all in every hand. He had a massive stack of about 15mil. I was dealt a pair of aces and folded. There was benefit to play them no matter what he had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solario333 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If you are on Pokerstars then YES fold AA if you are near the bubble. Anywhere else its a good bet. After all you are a strong favourite to win the hand. My experience includes AA KK being out flopped or runner runner flush many times over 15 years ..... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownman24 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Might aswell just out right ask the question can AA be outflopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it depends on the tournament if it is a satellite then yes unless you are a short stack and need chips to survive until it is over. If it is a tournament as people say it can give you a nice stack to attack and get to the final table. Otherwise if the chips you win will make not a lot of difference then getting to the bottom of the prize ladder is worth more than maybe improving your chance of getting to just above the bottom. Usually the biggest increase in prizemoney is from zero to bottom prize until you get to near the end of a tournament. If it a bounty tournament that can affect your decision as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
