Hint: Tournament BubbleComment -
the ONLY reason to ever fold AA preflop is in a satellite tournament where you pretty much have a spot locked upComment -
JAke bring us to the 2/5 game at the bash when u folded QQ to Big O.
I need details!Comment -
Yes, quite a few times. Wait I think I have, almost sure I have.Comment -
I never folded QQ to him
I was mostly card dead in that game..I did have AA vs downsouth's KK and pretty much told him what I had and he still called
the highlight was a 1k+ preflop allin between Triple D and Autodonk...Triple D had QQ and Donk had AA...river Q and Donk erupted like Mt. Vesuvius!!
on the other table, mpaschal folded 33 to a raise and a sinmiedo re-raise and the flop was J33...sin had JJ...mpas still has flashbacks and nightmares from that hand!Comment -
Guy folded Kings to me once preflop in a tournament. Said u had aces. I didn'tComment -
Yes Ive done it quite a few times preflop when there were like 3 or four all ins. Anything can happen then, after all AA is only a pair and there is a good chance someone else is holding an Ace, probably even 2 others so all aces out. Since the objective of playing flop, turn, and river is to build a stronger hand, there is no way your hand will get stronger then unless you somehow get a flush or straight.Comment -
In 25 minutes I lost with AA, AA, and KK. Same Knuckledragger beat both of my AA hands. 1st one I had AA red. Flop comes Q94 with two hearts. I had rebet to $50 preflop. I bet the flop at $100. Turn is 2d. I bet $175. River is black 10. Guy shoves his last $165. I call and he has KJ of hearts.
2nd AA hand with same guy. He raises to $20 pre and I reraise to $60. Flop comes QJ7 rainbow. I bet $100 he calls. Turn is 3 with no flush draws. I shove $270. He calls and turns over JJ.
KK hand I 4 bet to $70 pre. Flop comes 245 rainbow. I bet $100 and 1 call. turn is 7. I bet $200 which was enough to set the one caller in. He calls and turns over A3 off LOL.Comment -

I have not folded bullets preflop, but kinda wish I did many times. Been busted out of several tournaments with AA preflop. One-time got an aggressive chip leader to re re raise and he ended up calling me with KQ off and nailed broadway on the flop.Comment -
I've never folded AA, KK or QQ preflop, but what blows my mind is when someone has KK and the flop comes with an ace. Why does the guy with KK think he still has the best hand??? I see people just throwing their money away all day long.
Unless I flop the set, I fold KK (or lower) after the flop all the time with an ace on the board.Comment -
2/7 offs is an auto all in for me so I think I change AA to auto fold.

No. Hell no.Comment -
I don't quite agree with this, I think there are other situations. For instance, say you are in a single table sit n'go where Top 3 pay. Four people left, 10000 chips in play, 25/50 blinds. Other three people each have exactly 3300, and you have 100. You are in Big Blind with AA, all three of them go allin preflop before you act. Would have to be correct to fold AA there and try to move up to second rather than risking fourth if you lose to any of them by calling.
Granted extremely rare, but I suppose those situations do exist!Comment -
Well that's just being silly/resultist. You got your $ in as a huge favorite and wound up losing - that's part of the game. But it's silly to say after the fact that you should have folded. If you can get your $ in as a huge favorite, then do it. Sure, sometimes it doesn't work out, but if you continue to do that, in the long-term you will be successful. It's really counterproductive when you get your $ in as a big favorite and lose to then start analyzing the hand and asking yourself what you could have done differently to get a better outcome.Comment -
Only time I consider it is when the Boscokid is on a crazy run raising and going all in on every hand. You raise he comes over the top all in and you sit there thinking that fuk has 9, deuce off suit but you also know he is going to flop it

jesus Christ what a bad threadComment -
The calzone is enormous there. Restaurant was very good. I'm used to good Italian being from Pittsburgh.
Anyways, I do have an AA story preflop. I had an enormous stack at a satellite a few years ago. We were down to the bubble. It was either 7 or 8 seats. Most of the other players were around 10 bbs, I had like 60bb. Older guy shoves under the gun. I'm under the gun+1, I get AA. I call. Then a guy in middle position goes all in for a little less than the first shove. UTG KK other player also AA. The aces hold. Definitely one of the craziest hands I ever played. He says he would have folded everything but aces. In my spot, I do think I would have folded if the UTG player had half my stack, or if anyone else was even close to what I had.
A much better thread would be players never folding them after the flop instead of a hero situation where folding them preflop is a good play.Comment -
I think it was $6 Max. $3-$6 most hands.
It was a very fast game. 1/2 with Mississippi straddle and no cap on buyin. I thought about rebuying for $1,500 or so and breaking the guy but I was tired and decided I had enough. I had to get up at 3:15 am to catch the early flight so I didn't want to get stuck more and have to grind until time to leave.
I forgot to mention that both AA hands, I was straddling on the button lol. What a clusterfukk to lose in that situation!Comment -
Yes, in a tournament.
AK many times pre-flop in a tourney.Comment -
Nope. Never been in a spot where I even had to really think about it. Have lost with AA against AA all in preflop heads up. That was fun.Comment -
That sucks
I got knocked out of a tournament I was pretty deep in AK vs AK.Comment -
I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking of this hand. With the action Sin got, could have been the biggest hand I ever won. Although ~$700 would have been Sin's.
However the hand that hurts even more was 6,3 cracking my AA on the river for almost $500. He went all in after I re-raised his bet on a flop of 7,7,6.Comment -
Noooooopeeeeee.Comment
