he said with aces he would call BTW as he knows he will still win more often than the others, although he may lose on this occassion. (ivey with 100k after 1hand = omfg)
here i am telling u its an insta-call. u r getting a little bit too theoretical. U R NOT GUARANTEED 2 WIN IF U FOLD. it is an easy easy call.

CALL, CALL, CALL

look at the odds of KK winning against 8 opponents
then look at odds of winning AA against 1 opponent

no its not a tough decision. yes its an instacall

OK, good point.

But I guess my main point of this scenario is how many times are you in the situation to win $15 million. I would say for the average joe, this scenario would be the ONE and ONLY time.

I feel there are situations that you can play with 150 BBs that are WAY stronger than AA vs KK which is basically 80/20.

What is your thinking? Just because it's the correct "long-term decision"?

How many times will you get to play for $15 million?

You're probably right though, I probably can't fold on national TV with AA, but I'm just bringing up the thinking.

I don't need a dream scenario hand, I can lock up a better situation with many combos better than 80/20.

Even Phil Hellmuth calls here. He's much better than I. How do I fold. Seriously, I think we're all being leveled here.

I wasn't expecting much from this kind of hypothetical, but this question is really retarded.

It would be more interesting if you were getting 5-4 pot odds to call an overbet push with a straight flush draw on the flop.
