That's a pretty rediculous statement Doc. The point isn't to be the chipleader with 30 people left. You don't have to have all the chips yet, the point is to build yourself up a stack that you can bully people around with and coast into the final table with a good stack. At the final table, yes I've said it I like this play, but this is not the time to get cute with someone who can bust you.
Also, at this stage in a tournament I would call with AK against QJ but that has absolutely no prevelence in the hand in question. The right play with AA preflop to a raise is to reraise. That is bottom line plain and simple clear as day no questions asked. PERIOD. Anything else is asking to get sucked out on like both people who did it in this post have done. good job going broke with nice stacks when you could have taken it down preflop. Keep being greedy, and keep trying to "break" someone when you do not need to.
Do you really not understand that after the flop all you have is 1 pair. The average hand to win a pot in hold em is 2 pair. So this is absolutely absurd that this topic is this discussed on the most obvious of plays.
Playing AA deep in a tourny with deep stacks.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

I've just read this thread. I am not an MTT player but........
Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.
