Party, $1 Buy-in (300/600 blinds, 50 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players

BB: 1,100 (1.8 bb)
CO: 4,358 (7.3 bb)
Hero (BTN): 2,574 (4.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A♣: A♦:
CO raises to 1,200, Hero raises to 2,524 and is all-in, 2 folds, CO calls 1,324

Flop: (6,148) 5♠: J♦: 2♣: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (6,148) 6♦: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (6,148) 7♠: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

6,148 pot
Final Board: 5♠: J♦: 2♣: 6♦: 7♠:
CO showed 6♣: 6♠: and won 6,148 (3,574 net)
Hero showed A♣: A♦: and lost (-2,574 net)

Started playing these at Party, maybe we fold on the bubble in tourney's but was i wrong to get involved in this hand?
Small blinds a rock and CO was aggro at this point in the game but is only 17/14 over 214 hands.
I'm going for the win obviously...

I think it's correct, if you had some read that he could be playing tricky you could think to fold JJ or QQ as you have one player that most likely it's going to bust on the next hand but AA and KK i think i shove in this situation. But as you said that he was playing aggro at that point i think even QQ i shove.

Cumps ;)

You d never Fold AA-KK , Unless its like a bigger MTT and out of the 9Players at the table, 6 go all in , lol

And with the blinds that high i dont think i d let QQ, maybe even AK pass, just because of how short you are, In closer spots with 10BB I d stick to AA/KK if u really wanna follow ICM Math

You fold aces, small stack duble's up and you are the short. You can think of folding on satelite, dons ors. like that where's the goal is to stay alive. I folded KK ones but it whas 109$ major turnament and i just started to play poker.

@Flopper8 In that situation i wouldn't fold AA, but if for instance 2 players of equivalent stack or more were already all-in then i could consider folding unless i have 3 or 4 times their stack then even in that situation i wouldn't fold.

Calling might be bit better than shoving if it induces BB to come along bit more often. That way it's less likely for you to be bubble boy. But folding is not option.

I think it's a easy fold on bubble stage. The opponent is not bluffing. It is a patently.
So opponent does not risk anything(larger stack). We are risk flying out from tournament.
But shoving is not a error. I will clicked a fold button.

Easy stack of for me. If you fold AA you are way to tight and I would only folding AA when 3 players gets the same prize amount. That's now not the case.

do you call JJ and QQ? imo it's borderline. I would KK too and definitely fold 99.
