Clearly you will lose more often than you win in this extreme example, but remember you are getting 9:1 odds on the call Â- you only have to win 10% of the time to break even. Your AA va 9 random hands has an equity of about 33%. As an extreme example, suppose you shove AA at a table with nine opponents who will call with any two. Still, it is a profitable call even if you are not a favorite.

Realize though that if you get multiple callers you may wind up not being a favorite to win. You should NEVER fold AA preflop in a cash game. If you are getting AA v JJ v 9Ts Pre-Flop then you should suggest that the three of you get your own table and run it 10-15 times each and every night. if you are shoving 2x the pot into sets multi-way then you need to learn more about playing deep and make those adjustments. so now you are REALLY deep stacked, let's say with 9 Buy-ins in your stack, eh? How will that make you feel? Are you NEVER winning any of these big hands? That seems impossible. If you are going to play serious poker you need to know that you will play the game 'the right' way no matter the result.

Some (lots) of your thoughts are emotionally and results based. There's no 'real' poker Player here that will not admit that adjustments are made for deep stack poker, but those same folks will also probably never back down from AA Pre-Flop either. I will tell you though, I've played plenty of 'regrettable' sessions where I tried to go on cruise control and ride out the rest of the night only to see my stack heavily damaged along the way. and make sure that you are self-aware of those adjustments. The only other option is to play differently.

While it's not advisable, you may need to cash out when your stack reaches a certain point no matter if you have 'scheduled' more time to play. There are many threads/posts on this site that advise that if you feel at any point during your session that you aren't playing your best, then you need to cash out no matter how good the game. What is 'deep' to you may not be deep to another Player, or Players who want to gamble. How did the hands play out before you pushed?
