pocket aces
if its coming towards the end of a tournament and 3 people have gone all in before you, does it give you a right too fold them,this is all pre flop or is there never a situation where they should be folded pre flop, just wondered about percentages of winning the hand

weird red timer
Occasionally when I'm playing, ome of the other players seem to activate a wierd red timer bar for either a brief second(flitting down quickly), or a couple of seconds ( descending slowly). Is this some sort of time bank that I'm unaware of? If so how do you trigger it?
