is it ever correct to fold here?

[giverofbadbeats]

i'm just gunna show results bc i dont wanna be bothered starting a debate over who had what. my question is this; even if you strongly suspect one of them may have aces, are their ranges too full of AK and QQ to ever fold here?
fwiw, this is the tuesday night aussie millions qualifier, 1 seat awarded for every 60 so it is essentially winner take all. also, please no posts about moving this to bbv. i'm not complaining about the beat, i'm just wondering if it is ever correct to fold preflop.

no. When it was up to you preflop, you were getting about 3.5-1. The most you could realistically be was a 4-1 dog. Don't try to be a hero.

No. Also, you are not out of the tourney when you don't run down AA here. Very easy call.
