First, let me say I am very excited about winning my Main Event seat on pokerstars! Their $650 1800ET tourney on Sunday is a great opportunity with 26 seats guaranteed.
The following hand came up with 56 people left - 55 getting seats. I was in the small blind with AA sitting in 48th place with 30,000 in chips (blinds at 2500/5000, 625 ante). There was one player under 10,000 (4 hands from the blinds) and about 4 players between 10,000-15,000 and we were hand for hand. 2nd biggest stack (who wasn't very active min-raised from early position with big stack in big blind. I thought about play for few seconds then folded AA pre (first time ever). Tournament was over 6 hands later before I was BB (although 2 or 3 shorts won there all-ins).

Congrats on winning your seat. Also, in that situation I would say you may a good fold, no point risking a 12000$ package, almost certain sitout win.

i watched the last 30 hands of this and bax was just pushing and raising cause hes such a sicko. There wasnt anyone at the table that could hurt him so he was just abusing people. Watched some guy lose with tens against j5 to bubble. Puke!

WTG MAN! I won my PCA package this yr bc someone couldn't fold AA on the bubble. I was shorty with 12 package and 13 left big stack on other tbl shoving every hand and a guy in 8th called off with AA and 77 spiked a set and wwweeeeeee atlantis for the rest of us!!! U playing the Main? Either way nice fold and congrats

Not the same value as your win, but in Sunday 100G satillites, 4 players getting seats, and me in mid of pack with 5 left, I folded AA pre, and won the seat. Another time, same satillite I had 1.5BB with 5 left, then second biggest stack battles with chip leader. Chip leader makes 2 pair on river to crack second players AA. I won the seat for that mistake, I would have waited until a player as short as me doubled up twice at least before getting involved with a stack that could cripple, or bust me.

Nowhere did I state anything about his play or even think anything about his play other than it being the exact opposite of folding AA, which is exactly what made his post funny. It was the punchline. But thanks for explaining "super standard play" to me. I will PM you next time I'm in a tough spot. -
