Default Re: Do you have the balls to fold AA?

I would say if this is the kind of player willing to put it all out there with TPNK, this is not the only time he will make this play. Wait for a better situation and you will get his money, if he lasts that long. You are playing behind him most hands, so enter pots he is in with more marginal holdings in an effort to outflop him. You don't have to win every pot, just make sure your money is good going into the big ones.

Analysis:
In this hand, you definitely couldn't be sure you have the odds to call, especially with the call by the first guy. While he is growing the pot, he is a potential additional drawer if not already ahead. You are now afraid of being behind a made hand already, or are bucking one or both hands with 2 clubs, with 2 spades, with a lone 4,5,6,7,8,9, or 10, and more distantly, one club in their hand for runner-runner. Remember, they are all-in, so you can't extract more money if your hand improves and you can't make them fold their draws.

Well played.
