AA on the button, one from the money and 2 people go all in infront of you and both have you covered... do you call?
i was at poker the other day and it was interesting... some said that you should call cos its about trying to make it further into money, others said fold cos if you make money its worth it, which is very results orientated poker.

2 months ago i wud think maybe you have to fold this.
But now i know never fold this hand never. Maybe maybe in this situation when 3/4 people allin you can maybe fold it but in this situation no, call offcourse

yea i would def call unless the money is a decent amount, such as you got a satellite to the tourney, cos i would wanna cash just out of honour but yea imagine a triple (plus blinds/antes) a quadtruple up! that will get you pretty far into the cash for sure!

Depends on the blinds, what the tourn is worth,or if in a sattalight,or on bubble , if you are about to win $100 for folding then fold, dont coin flip, lots of varients for this situation and you must take them all in to account, so its hard to say call or fold, but fold is an option its not always a instant call with AA, also you need to know who you playing, its not as easy as saying do you call or fold AA aginst 2 all ins

if the tournament is a 1$ tournee i would definedly call but if the bubbleboys drops and you get guaranteed 5000$ i would maybe fold...it really depends how healthy my stack is

no guarantee you have both people completely dominated after any of the cards come down. Unpaired suited connectors are definitely something people could move allin with especially if it is KQ,KJ,QJ, etc. Don't know the exact %ages but I know that these hands are actually the most common hands that crack As so it's a situational thing. More than the 2 people allin ahead of him and you almost have to consider folding because your odds are far lower.
I would definitely fold it if I really need to make the money, example is if I'm in a $2 game that last for 1 hours and 30 mins when that we're in that situation I call but if I'm in a $10 ... that last for more than 3 hours ... I fold.
pre-flop you are a considerable favorite, i wouldnt base my decision on the size or lenghth of the tourney if anything base it on the players but as i said before i would not fold why would you fold the best starting hand in holdem pre-flop
but yea imagine a triple (plus blinds/antes) a quadtruple up! that will get you pretty far into the cash for sure!
