A possible sittuation to fold aa pf

[kassdog]

Lets say your in a multi tourny and 10 left. Now your playing hand for hand and you are 10th in chips. If your like me when in tournys you have both tables open. You notice your aa and notice that someone on the other table is all in and called and has lost. Do you fold aa pf just to get that extra kick in prize call and risk getting sucked out since your gong to be called because lets say you only have 2bb. Any thoughts.

Dont fold

I think there are situations to fold AA pf , but that does not sound like one at all. Especially with you short stacked anyways.
The only reason to fold AA pf would be if there are if the prize money makes big jumps per place...but in most smaller tourneys, the prize for 10th vs 9th isnt a big deal.
If its a big buy-in tourney then the jumps can be worth a fold. Especially if several short stacks are all in already and its likely that 2-3 of them will be eliminated, then I could see folding AA would have some value there.

this is just general. Should you still not fold knowing that the other player has lost and if you lose you finish 10 instead of 9.

this isn't even on the bubble? god don't fold.

if the jump in prize money is huge, or if average stack is 100bb while you're fighting for either 2 or 4, fine fold.

If you fold here, you're almost guaranteed to get no higher than 9th.

If you go all in here and get 1-2 callers, more money is in your near future [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] .

Never fold AA there... You could do it in a satellite tournament for sure, but not a regular MTT.

your chips are short relative to the blinds at this point according to harrington you must go all in. your hand doesnt get any better than this, you have to get your chips in the middle when you have a decent hand here you have the best.

Terrible fold in the situation you describe. There is rarely a jump between 10th and 9th large enough to make the $EV of folding into 9th > than the delta $EV of the CEV of calling.

[drzen]

You're 85% against the top 20%. Assume you're called that tight. Without doing the figures, if 10th pays $20 and 9th pays $150, I guess you could fold. Normally, no way. Don't you want to win? I'd hope to get called in four spots, quintuple up and then go on to glory.

Why are so many people obsessed with finding ways to fold AA preflop? It's likely you'll go your whole life without ever once being in one of these situations, esp if you don't play too many donkaments
