Came across this video of Pokerstars The Big Game. The Loose Canon has aces and folds them preflop because he won a big amount already and didnt want to risk it. What would you do in his spot?

For me it would be pretty hard, regardless of how much the money meant to him!

I watched it about 6 times in disbelief. Never folding AA there.

If you are that afraid to play, why not stick it all in preflop? You'll get two raises, blinds and antes and no one will ever call (except if they have aces as well, think kings will pbb fold as well).

If you are that afraid to play, cashout

I think you HAVE to stay and play until the time or hand limit is over...

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. That is a sick laydown preflop.

If he raised huge there PF, I don't think Laak would have called....Thats sick.

if you were a poor amateur player and you were GUARANTEED 100k+ by folding every hand but could walk away with nothing if you got drawn out on... I think folding every hand is justified because the risk of ruin is sooooo high and you have NO edge in the game whatsoever... the one thing I question is why he looks at the hands before folding them... folding AA and KK enough times could tilt him into playing again and losing his roll... better to commit to his plan and fold everything without looking...

That was what I thought of....surprised he was looking if he was folding all hands.
