Default Re: A Mistake

i have not read any of the below responses. so others many have already explained why you lose value by folding.

if you call, five of you are all in. therefore, if you win more then 20% of the time you show a profit. with aa you certainly win more then 20%. you are maximizing your expectation by calling. however, you also increase your fluctuations. if you can't afford short term swings i guess you can fold. but calling here shows a nice profit over your poker career, and is the correct play.
