Has anyone ever folded aces preflop?

[mafalda34]

I think ive folded queens and jacks a couple of times on an even cash hand.

I mean folding them meant entering the money. I know its never good to fold aces preflop, but depending on the situation i would be tempted to do it.
Of course if i do it ill write it here.

I havent ever done it. But I have always said that if I was close to getting paid in a huge $$$ tournament I would lay some stuff down that I woulnt dream of normally.

It's really hard to get away from A's though. Kings maybe........A's I would have to think long and hard about the situation.........

Only a few circumstances should you fold aces preflop.

1. 3-4 more people all in in the pot. Then you kinda have to.

2. A sattelite where all places pay the same, and you're massive chip leader against second in chips who is all in. You have to fold if you're close enough to the money where you could fold your way in.

Yes two times because I was sitting out and was in front on my computer, I was just on phone and took too much time to act

I couldnt agree with you more. Its so easy to say this and so hard to do this but it's the right play on both occasions!

I can't see your logic of wanting to get involved with that massive all in. Of course, it is fine if the stacks look something like this:

You: 10,000
Donk 1: 500
Donk 2: 2000
Donk 3: 1000
Donk 4: 1500

If most of the stacks are low compared to yours, it should be ok. Even if one stack almost matches or covers yours, it's still a good idea to go all in because if you lose against the short stacks, your odds of winning vs the other big stack is the same as if it were just you two in the pot. So basically you'd be adding big to your stack/doubling up while gambling a small amount on the side.
