would you call an allin with pocket aces if 3 other people are all in?

it definently depends on the situaution. if its towards the end of the tourney you might wanna fold because you will be able to make it to the final table. it is at the beginning of a tourney i would probably call so i could build a strong chip stack early. if the other players were to all have pocket pairs there would be six cards that would give them a set and ultimatly beat your pocket aces. this is about the same odds as you having pocket 9s versus A Q. six cards that can help and if the A or Q were to pair, then you would need another 9 to win (not counting straights or flushes). same wit the aces. if someone else were to get 3 of a kind you would need a third ace to win. with all this said i would think it would be about a coin flip as to whether you win of lose in this situation.

I'd call an all-in with Pocket aces. That's pretty much a "no brainer" for me. ;D

I would All it in because A/A i cant fold A/A no matter how many people are in the hand. Well actually i would have to think at it more closely it would have to depend how many chips i was up against. If the guy went 1 mill and we both were in the room i might fold, even though people would tell me that was a stupid move. But if all my money was on the line i might fold still i would have to be in that situation to see what i would really do.

it is still A A...cmon who can fold that?

If 3 other people were all in, i pretty sure you need to fold the aces. 3 other people in theres a pretty good chance someone will hit a better hand and one of the people in front of you who is all in might have AA as well so you'd have no chance of wining if one of there other 2 hit a better hand then yours. With 3 people all in the best play is to fold AA but it would be very hard to do.

Its the best hand possible...why fold it? at a ten person table vs random hands with everyone all in it will still hold up 30% of the time. And i have read it, so dont be saying stuff like "no way it would hold up 30%" or i'll beat you down.

LMAO. Mike you're the funniest person on this frickin' forum bro. Your posts always amuse me.

Well.. at least "30%" of the time out of "10 posts" they usually amuse me. I read that too, so don't contradict me or I'll kick you.

Hey JJ how long have you been playing? Just curious, because you remind me of a very close friend of mine who's making loads of money now...

Always the curious ones are the best poker players, always asking questions.

Oh, and JJ im not attacking you in any way, it just seemed like DÃ©jÃ* vu all over again...

And for those A's...I would probably think about it first, and take my time on my decision so I can establish were I'm standing at the table, pot odds, and my hand odds against my opponents.

I would call an all in with pocket aces with just three people in the pot. It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. (Making the bubble, or winning the tournament.)

Ivey67 · 10-11-2005, 12:51 AM

Pocket AA are the best hand in poker before the flop. There are three other people in but I would still go allin. If you lose you lose. But you cant fold the best hand even if it is at the end of the tournament.
