AA and 2 shoves
Alright heres something Im curiuous to get an opinion on, hypothetical situation but it has arisen in my past..Say your in the final 2-3 tables of a decent tourney, your late position with AA. Early position shoves, mid position shoves, folds to you. to call would take your whole stack, do you call on a 3 way all-in?

If you dont call this you are going to be a losing player in the long run.

Only has happened to me once, and I did call and won. Just wanted to get some opinions as it seems in a 3 way AA becomes very vulnerable to straights and flushes..If it was a big money tourney, say final 20 players in a 50k or more guarentee would you still call? I think I would because youd most likely be going up against AK, QQ, KK something like that although with 3 callers your chances or getting set increase a lot I would think..Im not a big multi table tourney player but I am thinking about getting into it so I wanted your guys expert opinions...

AA will always be a favourite all in preflop no matter how many players you are against.

Who cares how big the prizepool is, play to win! The bigger the prize pool the more excited you should be about getting all in!
The call is so +EV it's unreal!

this reminds me of a thread a few years ago about the very first hand in the WSOP ME when ur dealt AA and theres 8 all-ins in front of u....do u call or fold was the question posed.
obv id fold in the WSOP and in ur scenario since AA is rigged.

my only point was, are u willing to risk your tourney life with 3 players all-in, AA is great no doubt about it, AA is favourite no doubt about it, i just dont know how i feel about risking it all against multiple players. AA is not a guarenteed win, especially against 2 players who probably have a good range covered..im not saying i wouldnt, but i would have to think twice...
