Pocket aces will win heads-up against a random hand about 85% of
the time. But against 9 all-in raises preflop that means you are
worse than 3-1 to LOSE to at least one of them. In a 50-30-20
SNG, your equity at the beginning is 10. If you fold, your
equity will actually rise because you will likely b[
e in the money when the dust settles. If you call and lose, your
equity is zero. Your expected equities:
Fold: 20-30, say 25.
Call: .25*50+.75*0 = 12.50.
So yes, under the extreme circumstance of 9 all-in bets ahead of
you in an SNG, you should probably fold pocket aces. But if its
only two or three, I'll take my chances.
Basically you calculate your equity expectation from folding
against that from calling. This applies whether your cards are
aces or some other hand.
In a cash game it's always good odds to call any preflop all-in
if you have aces.
