Here is a screenshot about a situation in a 5$ SnG. They all went all in preflop! After this it was easy to win this SnG, I was laughing a few minutes about the hand! have fun with this Picture:
the guy with AA just got bad luck, The guy calling with TT ist just a donkey and the guy with QQ just got lucky on the river. You see it time after time that AA get cracked by another pocket pair or suited connectors just sucks for the one holding them.

It's certainly not uncommon for people to go all in pre flop with A3 on Action Poker. That is why I love it so much
It will always work out for the AA in the long run pre flop though.
If I was playing a $5 SnG, taking into consideration the trash people often turn over at those stakes, I would probably call with 1010 but, if it was a $10 SnG (and above) then definetly not.
what would you do if you are holding QQ early in a Sit 'n Go and 2 guys go allin in front of you ? I'm not sure I want to call! I know I'm folding Jacks and AK even to just 1 allin early in the SNG but queens is so tempting. I also know that if we are only 5 to 4 left I would insta-fold queens if there are 2 guys allin because I win 100% of time if I fold and can lose alot of the time if I call (~45% I would guess) especially if I don't have em both well covered !

it depends on the limit i play. higher limits i might fold if 2 guys in front of me go all in. but lower limits i cant resist to call. anyways preflop all in is a coin throw...ok AA KK u most of the time win. lower limits on certain pokerclients i see up to 5-6 ppl going all im always thinkin " man they all cant have AA´s" lol. then you see A4, A7, K9 or even 78...ironic is often such trashhands win by small pair vs AA KK
