    Default Fold Aces....?

    18 seater $24+2 satellite, top 6 are "in the money", 6th gets $57 and 1st-5th get a $75 satellite token. I'm EsjayUK on my new Full Tilt name (to track my sit n go results)

    6 left, jace man had been sitting out for 10+ hands....

    Full Tilt Poker Game #2730515389: Tier Two $24+$2 Sit & Go (20812530), Table 2 - 250/500 - No Limit Hold'em - 17:41:03 ET - 2007/06/21
    Seat 1: The Earl Grey (3,385)
    Seat 3: jace man 5000 (2,750), is sitting out
    Seat 4: TaZa1 (2,315)
    Seat 5: EsjayUK (12,470)
    Seat 6: Jworm8 (560)
    Seat 7: Germaniac2 (5,520)
    TaZa1 posts the small blind of 250
    EsjayUK posts the big blind of 500
    The button is in seat #3
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to EsjayUK [3s 9h]
    Jworm8 folds
    Germaniac2 folds
    The Earl Grey has 15 seconds left to act
    The Earl Grey folds
    jace man 5000 folds
    TaZA1.....

    has A-A, would you fold or push here if you were him? And would you call in my position if he pushes?

    For the outcome and stuff highlight the text below (its in white):

    I didn't need to call as someone is all in next hand, but that's what he should have been thinking about befpre pushing. So thought I'd gamble to try and get it over with and teach him a lesson!

    TaZa1 raises to 2,315, and is all in
    EsjayUK calls 1,815
    TaZa1 shows [Ah Ad]
    EsjayUK shows [3s 9h]
    TaZa1: AA
    *** FLOP *** [9d 2c As]
    *** TURN *** [9d 2c As] [5s]
    *** RIVER *** [9d 2c As 5s] [4s]
    TaZa1 shows three of a kind, Aces
    EsjayUK shows a straight, Five high
    EsjayUK wins the pot (4,630) with a straight, Five high
    TaZa1 stands up
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 4,630 | Rake 0
    Board: [9d 2c As 5s 4s]
    Seat 1: The Earl Grey didn't bet (folded)
    Seat 3: jace man 5000 (button) didn't bet (folded)
    Seat 4: TaZa1 (small blind) showed [Ah Ad] and lost with three of a kind, Aces
    Seat 5: EsjayUK (big blind) showed [3s 9h] and won (4,630) with a straight, Five high
    Seat 6: Jworm8 didn't bet (folded)
    Seat 7: Germaniac2 didn't bet (folded)

    I hadn't noticed but he'd even said "A-A" in the chat window before I called, then proceeded to slate my call, I was quite pleased with it

    I'm more of a purist here. I get AA I am pushing even if it's a situation like this. Even better if anything because players are going to fold all but the hands that you have crushed, AK, KK, AQ, QQ, JJ for example.
    Hmm now I look at it, the guy under the gun is moreorless all in next turn so that changes the scenario a little. As you're the sole big stack I'd expect it to be HU between you and Jworm next turn for a pot of 1320. So if TaZai folds he'll be left with about 2000 (with the blinds behind him), and the utg-now guy has a 50% chance of getting 1320 chips. That puts him back in contention in my opinion. Plus 1-5th are slightly better than 6th here. So I think I'm pushing with the AA. That guy sitting out will probably get a place (unless there's a tacitly agreed deal to fold him out?)

    In your position I probably call for the hell of it. As Woody put it, "calling is more fun than folding" or something like that.

    Aye, in that position I'm calling all ins with any two cards if anyones silly enough to go all in, to try and get it finished, unless its a big stack
