Weird question about AA all in P/F

[JasonMcAuley]

This may sound like a weird question, but is it ever wrong to get AA all in P/F if you are able to?

I play 25nl, and over the past 2 days, have gotten all in P/F with AA only to:

- Lose $80 pot to 55
- Lose $50 pot to KK
- Lose $40 pot to KQo


My rational side tells me to chalk it up as variance and hope for better results next time; but I just want to confirm, that I am doing this correct. Is there something I am just missing?

always getting AA all in pre flop... cuz no matter what happens on the flop

ex: 7 Q 2 rainbow.... What are you going to do fold to a raise on that flop?

I assume by P/F you mean postflop? Because preflop AA are the nuts, therefore, no, it's not correct to fold the best hand and it is completely irrelevant whether your opponent sucked out or not. Postflop there are actually quite a few spots where you should not be stacking off. A flop like 678ss, especially if it's multiway is not a good flop to get all your money in if you're facing strong bets and raises. The reason for that is because you are either crushed by a set or a straight or you are coinflipping at best against some kind of combo draw.Having reads/notes on people helps a lot in these trickier spots.

If you mean preflop, no.

AA pf cash, aipf everytime no question

Well, if you play a tourny and reaaaaally need to make the money and you have enough chips to fold into the money... fold everything.
But in any other case - espacially cashgame (!) - it is never a mistake to get it in /w AA pre. There might be a more profitable way to play them from time to time, but if villain is willing to call an all in... shoooooooooooooove it

And even postflop 100BB deep you make no huge mistake to get it in, if the pot wasn't limped or only minraised.
