My favorite (in reference to a 6way all-in and you have AA):

If you auto call Aces on first hand of an 8000+ entry tournament where you have at best 35% chance of winning, your dead money is greatly appreciated. God I love poker and the idiots that try to play it.

I think this is probably a +EV call.

Yay. My 1st post to the forums.

This can be determined by each person. It's simple...

Take a deck of cards and take out AA. Deal out 6 random hands. Do this 10 times and see the result.

My result was the AA's held up 4 times. I got busted 6 times.

Those odds suck. I'd lay down the AA against 6 others all-in pre-flop.

However, the thing that people always forget about tournament poker is that it is different than cash games in that sometimes the right call in terms of pot odds is the wrong call in terms of tourney poker. Juanda and Fischman say this all the time. For example, let's say you call. 6 out of 10 times, you're out of the world series on the 1st hand. The other 4 times, you have a massive chip lead, and let's say you turn two of those chip leads into cashses, maybe 3... if you just fold there, and you're a good player, you should be able to cash in the event 4 times.
