You're not playing a tournament, so the fact that you're "chip leader" means virtually nothing (and it wouldn't mean enough in a tournament, either). Folding AA there is giving away money. Besides, this situation is exactly the one you want to find yourself in when you have everyone else covered, in order to maximize your winnings!

Edit: If you only win 25%(and you'll win a lot more than that) of the time, you should make this play every single time you have the opportunity to do so. If you don't understand why this is the case, you still have a lot to learn about poker. Luckily, you've come to the right place. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
