    Default Aces in the small blind

    What's the "correct" way to play Aces in the small blind, when it gets folded around.

    Top 15 get paid, 50 or so left. Stack size is below average. 20 big blinds.

    yep i would play it the same way as normal. raise your normal pre-flop raise.

    c-bet
    third barrel then fourth barrel

    i am going broke or winning in a hand like this at that stage. your too far from the money not to risk your tourney life with AA.

    I would asses how my opponent has been playing, their stack size.

    I mean if the guy is leading alot to perceived weakness or has a really short or extremely large stack wouldnt you just limp- 3bet or jam when he raises?

    It was a rush tournament so had no idea on how he was playing.

    I raised 2.5x and he folded.

    I HATE THAT

    RE RAISE ONE TIME YOU FN BB TAGS.....

    god the amount of times I get AA or KK or QQ or JJ in the BB or the SB and the whole table folds out or I raise and the BB folds out...

    So sick of that sh$te...




    sorry just had to relieve a little frustration...
