Default When would you fold AA\'s

Lets Assume

Your in the world's largest card room offering no-limit tables ranging from 25-50 NL to 1 Billion 2 Billion NL.

You have $1,000 and sit down at the 25-50 NL with the minimum buy-in.

You are dealt AA's on the very first hand and your opponent pushes you all in with KK's for you to luckily double up.

You must take you $2,000 to the 50-100 NL where the same thing always will occur.

Assuming at some point you will go busto at what point will decided to not risk it and cash out assuming you start with $1,000.

Chances of winning are 80%...So...4 times. The next time, a loss is guaranteed.

The correct answer is never strictly in terms of EV. As the number of hands you play tends to infinity, there is always a non-zero chance you will continue to win every hand.

In real life you're betting utility, not money, so it depends on your financial status. Personally I definitely wouldn't stop till I had over a million.

The only time i've ever seen a good reason to fold AA pre was in a super satellite with some strange stack sizes and bubble play situation

this situation isn't realistic
