It depends what you want to do in a poker tournament. If you want to win a poker tournament, then you don't want to be folding aces preflop.

P2: TdTh 0.2:1
P3: 8d7d 0.2:1

Everyone is all-in.

Against two other players with decent holdings aces are only a 2:1 favorite (on average). That means, if you make this play 3 times in the same tournament you will lose. Mathematically. You only need to lose once to be out of the tournament.

If you want to win a poker tournament you can't blindly go all-in with your aces. You need to pick your spots.
