AA
Jun 9^th, 2007, 2:02am

I just realised why i hate AA on big blind,just been playing a laddies $3000 prizepool crapshoot (and crapshoot it was).I was sat with AA on the big blind,1st position goes all in so i think wow he must have a nice hand but i gotta call even though you must remember AA is only a pair right,so all other players fold around to me i call he shows 8/6 os unreal yes a 8 and 6 come down now what is that all about? Lips Sealed

Its a horrible situation, but you are supposed to be a big fav, so a call has got to be right.

Just flicking through the posts and saw this one (Hi RD, TC and all) and have to say that the day I fold AA is the day I quit poker however; that was until someone posted this little beauty...

On another forum someone asked what would I do if I was on an STT and last to act with AA on the very first hand. 7 players go all in before you (9 handed).

I seriously considered this and felt that although it is unlikely to happen I may well consider folding for two reasons. (1) AA is not a strong hand against 7 callers and (2) I play poker for profit and folding would probably ensure that I make the cash in one hit and still be in with a chance to improve on that.

Anyone agree/disagree?

My bro told me a story he read about a game at the stardust, were someone was holding AA n there was a raise, a re raise, n a allin before him, so he folded his AA with ease Shocked

worked out if he had called his AA would have been last of all 4 Roll Eyes

So think i have to agree Cool
