Re: Folding pocket rockets pf
Ha-ha!
The only time that folding AA preflop might possibly be a conceivable move is when:
You're in a tournament at the final table, and several of your opponents move all-in, essentially guaranteeing you third place or better if you stay out of the hand, but threatening to bust you or decimate your stack if you get involved because your chances of winning are reduced to below 50%. In a case such as this, the ability to survive outweighs the awesome odds you're getting and the fact that you're a big favorite.
In a cash game, it is never correct to fold AA before the flop, even if all nine of your opponents move all-in in front of you.
The only exception might be if you were playing on a very limited bankroll (which brings the question of survival into play, just like in a tournament), but in that case you shouldn't be playing no-limit.
Folding AA preflop is a scared money move, and telling your opponents you did it only encourages them to play more aggresively with you.
