I find No limit is chaos, you may not have made the best call but if it costs you a bet or two playing safe whats wrong with that. I should have packed pair of aces 3 times today . Last one was at the 12:30 am pokeroom freeroll tonight and on the first hand i was dealt pair of aces. Guy next to me goes allin.
I hate going all in so early in a game and was burned all in on doubled aces twice already earlier but did because i hate folding aces. The turn and river brought him a straight i was out first hand, smoked by an first hand allin preflop cowboy holding a measley pair of sevens.

Is'nt this the same ?
Folding aces on an allin bet first hand in a tourney would be playing supersafe but i should have, cause that was my 3rd allin beat holding a set of aces today.

You had to call there with AA. You were 80% fav and to double up early in the tourney would have been very powerful. Just V unlucky 77 turned into a straight. Gotta play the odds IMHO

You make that call easily. Ask any poker pro and they will tell you to make that call. If you lose then you went down with a damn good hand. But no way do you fold. Bad move on his part. He got lucky and it worked out in the end. But 90% of the time he will look like a fool and be out of the tourney early.
