For a non-professional married guy, whose wife saw that he was up around 8 grand just before they were to leave, it's an easy fold. If you're not married you're not gonna understand this.
By the way...was at Foxwoods on Friday and had AA four times in 8 hours. Lost every one. That doesn't mean I'm not going to play them aggressively every time, but I can understand the guy's point of view.

I'm a non-professional married guy. And I fold never ever ever there. It's TERRIBLE. If $8000 is lifechanging for him, he shouldn't buyin $1000 for one night of poker. Period. I would be sick if I lost 8K, that's why I don't play $1000 buyin games.
Again, what if he had TT, and the flop comes T-7h-4h. Someone goes allin and has him covered. Fold here too? What if the guy flips up AhKh? Fold??? You're much smaller fave here than with AA headsup preflop, no matter what opp has. If you're going to fold a GUARANTEED 3-1 advantage minimum (the guy could have AK and you're over 9-1), then you need to rack up or sack up.
EDIT to add: Were all your AA allin preflop? We're not talking a situation where the guy has seen any other cards. He IS way ahead, for sure, 100% (disregarding that the other guy may have AA).
