The situation is very rare but it does happen.  for example you are in a satillite tourney and top 5 or so all get the same prize...you are not trying to win this tourney...you are just trying to go broke slower than the guy in 6th place...so say you are in 4 place chipcount and 2nd place raises all in ...do you call...you can but you are risking you tournament with only a few players lft who all get the same prize when the nxt person busts....if there is money on the line and only the top 2 get the seat in the big game and everyone else gets paid then you can take a chance because you still might win some money.....but like i said this is a rare situation unless you like to satillite alot in to bigger tourneys.  \

 Hope this helpped.

sure i will fold AA on preflop when the tournament beginns  and 3 other people go all in too .

Against 3 or more other player AA is not so powerfull on preflop .

at the end some donk have  2 pairs straight or tree of kind and you are out  whit your AA  ;p

if you are really really close to get paid,

and about 3 4 player moves all in pre-flop,

think about it...

about 50% win  with pocket aces with 4 players...

hard hard

 

but just in this case

hehehehe ;D

despite having these cracked so often (it is just a pair at the end of the day) I don't think I could bring myself to drop them preflop...  I seriously considered it last night, second hand of the tourney and 2 all ins before me, made me shudder.  But I did call and they held up. (one guy actually had 7 4 off suit and he CALLED the all in..... wierd)

You gotta have chips to win it, and it is the preflop nuts......

I would only fold if somebody went all in against it . everytime I go with an all in I have lost so I now distrust all ins with aces give me a KQ suited anytime

i all ready fold AA but it was a good fold because i was in midle position in a tournament i was very short about 12k and the most of the players include chip leader 10 times mor than me . I was in 11 position in the tournament in the bubble and the diference in 11 position por the tinal table it was very big about  150$  ...so UTG raise 16k 2 position call 3 position alin 52k  and me i fold..

luky me he had KK hit a K on the turn and eliminate 2 players, after that i was in final table in 9 position ... i finish the tournanent in 5 place and i lost whith QQ againts AK came a K on the flop ...   not bad   i win 340.00$

Umm folding AA preflop?  Never heard of such nonsense.  you are over 50% favourite in any situation.  -EV any way you look at it.

Only time I can see a reason to fold AA would be in a satellite situation, where you are trying to qualify and there are 1 or 2 ppl left.  Cash game or tournament, never ever never!

It's poker....

Is there a case for folding AA preflop ?

middle stack on the bubble against big stack i have folded it occasionally this goes against what i  have said in other posts but sometimes if is close to the money ie 1 or 2 to go ity is worth it just to make sure you get in the money now position and other factors come into play before you make this decision ie if your first to act versus bb with only 1 player who made the all in bet
sry bout dinner but i won 20 in the tourney

Be prepared to push all of you chips in. You want only 1 or 2 players against you when holding AA for the bullets to have a good chance of winning.
