Folding pocket rockets pf

[Vuron00]

I think it's been discussed numerous times and mostly accepted that the only time to fold AA preflop is a very specific situation on the bubble in a satellite where the prize pool is all or nothing and there is a very short stack at the table.

this is hilarious. i need to follow this up with my own question. if nine ppl went all in in front of you and the 9th player to do so showed you AA, would you call with AA? What if he threatened to kill your mother if you did? What if you had a exactly 374.2 big blinds? Sorry. I can't stop laughing. This is a dream scenario.

Err never ever will I fold AA preflop in a cash game no matter the circumstances. Except if I knew the guy would kill me after I beat him. Then I may think a bit. Then admitting you folded AA was almost worse. That's just my opinion, I never talk about my hands at the table. No Point.

i got bored and did a pokerstove analysis. AA vs AA vs KQs vs JTd vs 98c vs 76h. AA is only 15.1% equity, while putting in more than 16% of the money in the pot. If every player showed you this, easy fold.

It would depend on my chip stack and if I am struggling to make the cut. If I am pretty much guaranteed to make it without pushing this hand, I probably fold. But, that's cuz I am a novice and would be glad to just make the cut. If the player was someone who was looking to place high in the tourney, I am sure they would go to the felt given that scenario. I agree, in a ring game this should NEVER be folded.

Hypothetical:

You're playing the 2006 WSOP Main Event, 10 places from ITM with the same situation. Do you fold them here?

In a ring game it's a no brainer.

No, but if it was a satellite (where finishing first was no better than just making the money), then yes.

[Dromar]

no. That's equivalent to passing up an offer that pays 15:1 whenever you roll a 6 on a die. Sure, you'll lose more than you win, but in the long run, you'll be way ahead when you put your money in. That's what poker is all about. I hope you learned something.
