Alright, so here are my thoughts on the hand. I think I can fold here...I have a very large stack already (way bigger than what I'm used to), and I think there are better spots to get my chips in where I can potentially outplay my opponents or something.

cold blooded

Standard shove imo.

Is this a level? nobody is good enough to fold KK pf, much less AA! (barring bubble, satellite blah blah blah).Youre playing for first not to cash. At worst youre a 3:1 favorite, you arent getting someone all in as a 3:1 favorite very oten.If you ever fold in this situation, quit poker. Seriously.

How many til the money?

I hope so. I know it was frustrating to lose there, but you were able to get an opponent to put it all in with ATC versus AA perflop. His having 97 there just shows how large his range was. The fact that he sucked out - although unpleasant - does not in any way change the fact that you got it all in as a dominating favourite. I mean, if they knew that their all in would get you to lay down AA preflop, you would be abused left and right from there on.Cheers,Merby(Hoping I just got leveled)

This has to be a joke. Assuming it's not:If you are considering folding AA PF in any situation other than the bubble of a sattelite, please do the following:1) Go to mirror.2) Slap yourself while yelling "STUPID STUPID STUPID"3) Repeat #2 until you get the hint that you never fold AA or KK PF in a MTT, not even against a shove.AA is a 80-85+% favorite heads up against ATC, even KK. Which means 15-20% of the time, you're going to get outdrawn. Beats happen. There are no sure things.LEVELED EDIT: I need to get some sleep

[Merby]

Oh CRAP!......I just saw your post count.[x] LeveledNH SUH, I bow down to the well executed level.

What he said!

[HighwayStar]

I think with that shove he's telegraphing his range to 97o so looking at pokerstove, equity win tie pots won pots tied Hand 0: 83.098% 82.94% 00.16% 102251736 196074.00 { AA }Hand 1: 16.902% 16.74% 00.16% 20642004 196074.00 { 97o }I think this is a clear fold.
