Default Re: Do you have the balls to fold AA?

That depends on how important $2.71 is to you. That's about one gallon of gasoline. But it's all relative. If I were in the same situation at the stakes I normally play, everything larger relative to the stakes, I would insta-fold my aces. There are just too many hands that have you beat to risk your whole stack (3rd dude who has more than you is still to act). With five other players in the hand, it is at least two to one that someone already has your pair of aces beat (Aces against five random hands is only about 30% to win). All you have at the moment is one pair.

I recently sat down at $1/$2 NL table, and got dealt pocket aces three times in the first 20 minutes. The third time, I got them UTG. Since most pots were raised, I only called, planning on reraising preflop. Instead, I got six callers. Flop came 5-4-3, 2 suits. BB bet out - I insta-folded. I just knew there was no way my one-pair hand would be good. Eventually the flush won against a flopped straight.
