    Hi guys!

    I was playing in my usual 3,4$ S&G today, where i met a strange comment about a hand that developed. Here's the hand.

    pokerstars Game #25775386593: Tournament #146587818, $3.00+$0.40 Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (200/400) - 2009/03/09 17:49:08 CET [2009/03/09 12:49:08 ET]
    Table '146587818 2' 9-max Seat #1 is the button

    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 2925 | Rake 0
    Board [7d 8c 7h 8s 2s]
    Seat 1: NitroHUN (button) folded on the River
    Seat 2: dracir51 (small blind) folded before Flop
    Seat 3: iang85 (big blind) folded on the Flop
    Seat 5: nightriderr1 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 6: rmignon64 collected (2925)

    My question is NOT about who played it good or bad, the interesting part developed after that.
    I commented something like "how stupid i am, why didn't i bet the turn" because i wanted to fish information. It hooked in a second: the guy started commenting "are you serious? i would raise allin in a second" This shocked me more than i expected. I asked him if he is serious, claiming that i had 66. And there came the worst comment i've ever met at a poker table: "rmignon64 said, "youre in pre flop with an 8 or 7?""

    So my question would be: is there by any means AA an allin hand on a board of 7878 in a limped pot, on an sng bubble (this was a 2-tabler with 4 pay spots) against a player that has you covered?

    IMHO if i was ever that stupid to limp aces here, i would fold them in a heartbeat in these circumstances...

    Thx for your advice in advance!

    I would never ever play AA like that late in a sng w/ out 100% confidence that someone would shove over the limp so it's hard to say anything about it.

    Only in the right circumstances imo. If I'm short stacked etc (although with AA I'm shipping pre). I probably wouldn't do it so late in the tourney as ostore said. Too agro for me
