your friend is retarded unless it was some sort of satelite.

Thats what I was trying to tell him, he actually tried really hard to make me think that was the correct move. I dunno call me crazy, but I don't lay that down.

possibly the worst fold ive ever heard of..........with three people allin, AND he is considerable chip leader, this is an insta-call, say it was 6 handed at this point, not only does he have a chance to knock out 3 players and make it 3 handed (and move up a lot in the money which his arguement was), but also he now has a dominant chip lead and can run over the remaining two/wait for them to knock other out, also, if you arent gonna play AA at a final table what hand are you going to play??? vnld sir

I hope the three short stacks chopped that pot and your friend busted 7th.

How short are the short stacks? He is likely a 50% hand which makes a call with a reasonable % of his stack a good call. I had this happen at the Hall of Fame at Binions in a $500 satellite for the Main event with 5 allins preflop I had A-A in big blind. I considered a fold but it was the last one so i called and won.

So you wouldnt fold it here if you were simona75?

This is a turbo sng

LOL, no i wouldn't fold AA there if i was Simona, but i would thank you for doubling me up.

Obviously this isn't a regular occurance. But i was playing with some friends one night and we get into a hand where utg raises, i push with QQ on the button, and the BB sits there thinking and says I have a bad feeling about this one. He folds, utg calls with JJ and then the BB flips over his AA that he just mucked. Obvious jack on flop...

This actually happened, and I love this home game...lol

Mbardsen.. add

SNG or MTT, bubble, utg with very very few chips remaining (like 10 or so)

SNG, bubble, with shortstack, last to act, and all the other three players are allin.

I cant wait to play a sng with you.

Yeah muck it, just like I mucked a royal flush yesterday when he went all in on the river...

I guess I would muck my AA preflop here....cuz I should've known on tilt the quads were coming.

when the gun to my head is loaded

AA is a call here, easily.

he already has the chiplead, why risk it at this point?

some people need to expand their way of thinking. Its not always as simple as, "I have AA in a hugely +EV situation" He can easily just outplay them on the next hand.
