AA lay down
LongshanksED:
I know I"ve folded a full house (I had a thread about it in the academy section somewhere ) but that was an obvious situation
also roberto romanello folded a full house in last years wsop main event and his opponent showed him the higher ful house
but to fold a full house to a 52/1 shot that he has the case 8 then so be it (I"m sure someone will give me the proper odds of opponent holding the last 8 soon enough )

there are at least 2 top pros out there who would fold aces early on in the main event. They are Hellmuth and matasow.
They both know that you cant win a marathon tourney during the first level, but you can defenitly loose it. And they play far superior to all their opponents post flop that, they earn more chips when the blinds are higher in the later stadges without taking huge all in risks. Having said all that, i would never fold aces pre flop at any stadge of a big tourey.

What he said.
Watch the 2009 ME coverage you see Matusow fold qs js with a 3 spade flop incase the guy has :as: in his hand which he did.

Matusow failed to make the money so was this a good decision ... quite often with big folds people go out getting all their money in - in worse spots. How did he go out?
In absurd scenarios like 8 all ins in front of you I might fold ... but otherwise got to call.

But I wouldn"t fold AA in this spot :D
WYoung83:
That is a hand that not many top players would ever fold. Mikes reaction is great, worth watching the video just for that. i wonder if it were hellmuth making this lay down, what would of he said?
"easy fold, what took you so long, u idiot"?
And by the way. wtf is wrong with facebook? anyone else having problems tonight?
