AA or KK very early in a multi

[GeoffM]

Yeah, they'd talk about it a while, that's the guy that liad down AA on the first hand of the tourney.

Although for some reason I'm not so sure I'd want to be remembered in that light.

Yes, multitable tournies are about survival...if you want to sneak into the money.

If you want to win the damn thing, there is no way you fold AA to an allin bet against 1 player with any size stack....at any point of the tournament....even on the bubble.

I ask, what would be a better spot to get your chips in? If i was playing against a player who wouldnt call all his chips with AA preflop....well guess what, every time you put a bet in preflop, and i'm in a position to isolate...im gonna put you in.

The Best players are aggresive players, who build a stack, and use it to pummle the rest. You can not build a stack without taking some risks. And if you are not willing to put all your chips in the middle with the bullets, against only 1 player, ill say what others have said....you will never win a major tournament. You might be able to struggle along and limp into the money....but final tables make people rich.
