Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7146749, member: 397965"] As others have said, its correct to fold AA preflop in certain satellite situations, and also in certain DoN (Dubble or Nothing) situations. The determining factor is, that all the prices are the same. In this situation if you already have enough chips to be nearly 100% sure to cash, winning additional chips has no value. Years ago 888 Poker had some promotional hyperturbo satellites, that rewarded 600 x $5 tickets each. In those you pretty much knew, how many chips you needed to cash. So when you had reached that number with a decent margin, the best strategy was to basically not play a single hand but just slow down the action as much as possible, until enough players had busted on the other tables. I think, I did actually fold AA preflop at least once in these satellites. [/QUOTE]
