About Going All-In
Hi there!
Say you hold you hold pocket Aces and then someone goes all-in pre-flop, would you call? Is it always justified or recommended to make such a move? But how about if you’re sure a player will call your all-in?
Well, I would first consider some factors before calling however a pair of aces seems to be always the favorite pre-flop. Also, if you have the opportunity of doubling up or busting someone out and luckily you have the favorite, then calling will be a good one. What’s on your thoughts about this?
Thanks!
Warm regards,
Leo
Leo,
I am always calling an all-in bet to me preflop when I am holding pocket aces. There is really only one time you would even consider folding Aces preflop. If you were in a super satellite that paid 6 seats to a major tournament and there were seven players left, I might fold pocket aces preflop if I was a bigger stack. I would sit back and let the smaller stacks fight it out. Other than this one scenario, I am calling all-in with my aces, or moving all in if the situation warrants it.
