I would not fold pocket aces, preflop, under any circumstances. You have the best hand possible preflop and it can't get any better than this.
If you don't agree with this, then you need to play poker a little bit more agressively.

Don't be an idiot. There are tournament situations where it only makes sense to fold no matter what. e.g. you're in a satellite with an average stack and two big stacks went all in before you and you're one away from placing.

I think this still depends on the payout structure of the tournament. If the prize is the same for let's say the top 5 finishers (A seat in a biger event), then yes folding Aces is the correct play. However, if the prize pool is weighted toward the top, the correct play is still to call. You will make more money in the long run if you play in a way where you put yourself in a position to win the tournament.
