   even ace king offsuit has a 1/4 chance of beating pocket kings…

   In fact, I once lost against ace king suited when I had a pair of aces

   yeah right, wanna see you fold aces preflop =)) with kings there is a small chance, but fold aces preflop you can only be an idiot!

    If u fold AA preflop you can just aswell throw your money in the dish…

    when in a bubble situation in a big tournament it is maybe worth to give it a thought

    i dont think that u have to call with aces all the time pre flop. its not because u have aces that u will win for sur. In fact, all depend the cheaps u have left, and the players in…etc.

    seriously…

    and im askin about the situation he was talkin about specifically , so i dun want other people “explaining” it to me

13. 

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    of course there’s circumstances, but AK at any stage of a TOURNAMENT is a monster

    its also less possible that other people have A or K and if somebody has KQ or smth which is also a monster u can get all their chips in the middle on the flop if a King hits

    so its a tricky premium hand ,but its a premium hand nonetheless

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    what races?!

    against two other aces?

15. 

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    i dun think you ever wanna fold aces… what are u playing then?

    yeah, i get the - pre-bubble strategy
    but i think that then is a time to get even more agressive, so even with 1 big blind invested u gotta get them in the middle

16. 

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    why would u fold aces preflop?

17. 

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    in a tournament they are hard to play ,cuz anyone callin an all in basically has u beat or ur flippin a coin, and if somebody call u ,most of the times he’s either slowplayin you or will hit big on the flop or will not call, so u kinda dunno where ur at with jacks

18. 

    Yamakashi1 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    if in a tournament

    but if u play in a cash game u almost never fold them preflop, no matter.. well if at a fullring table 8 guys go all in preflop… lol

    no ,actually its true ,they are hard to play, harder than the better premium hands ,but if u think ur up against like an overpair (someone reraises you) in a cash game u will always want to stay in that pot and hit a set

    Pocket Jacks is the hardest preflop hand to bet. Ask 10 pros and you’ll get 10 different answers, granted it depend on the situation (position, stack size, opponents, etc.)

    Aces never win races

21. 

    badpanda84 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    Agreed,

    While AK is a good hand its only 50/50 agasit any pocket pair.

    Which is ok if you are shortstack in a tourment but early in the tourment is another story

22. 

    badpanda84 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    The only time when folding pockets preflop is if you are playing a satallie and you are on a bubble.. and you have a huge chip lead.

    The other time you would fold pockets A’s is if you are playing a double thru online and have 2 all-ins behind you

    mattlovell123 January 5th, 2011 at 06:04

    Theres discussion of one type of situation, perhaps where you were playing a tournament that pays the top 9 places all the same amount, and there were 11 players left and say 2 people were all in before you. No risk if you fold.

    But realistically, I agree, get those chips in the middle.

    Why would someone fold pocket Rockets preflop? that doesnt make sense to me.

    What was his point of telling his silly lil “free tournament (locally) and someone showed that he folded aces, preflop?!
    JJ is almost a premium hand.

    omg
    This guy is a goob.
