I fucking would.

    Depends on where your turn is to act and if you'd be happy with a good chance of doubling your wad.

    Suppose you had been on a good run and felt lucky? You'd have to at least see the flop.

If something is +EV and you don't take advantage of it,  you're making a mistake.

Last night on the big game on fox the Loose Cannon was up 140,000 with 50 hands left and folded AA the unibomer and mercier were before him unabomber raised with 66 mercier called with 44 and the flop can 686 lol unibomber flopped quads talk about a crazy fold of the AA . About three hands later the Loose cannon folded kk pre flop . I think he stated he was going to fold the rest of the way no matter what to collect around 130,000 after the blinds and antes. SO folding AA pre flop does happen it matters with the circumstances you are in.

I saw this as well...Yes a pre-flop fold of pocket aces on TV (he later folded pocket Kings...

I gotta tell ya...against that lineup, up $140K with only 50 hands to play and an NAPT passport to go on all the tournaments in the circuit (worth 100k? or more), I would have to do it too...

Folding pocket aces pre-flop in a cash game is a definite cardinal sin. Maximum value can ve extruded from all other hands and raise and reraise to get everyone in is the key.  

Post flop depending on the board and the rest of the players at the table is a different story.  Doubling and tripling up is great but there is a time when common sense has to enter in and how everyone else is playing.

Bubble of the main event,...you have 1sb left on the button, another player is all in blind due to a short chipcount...more than 2 callers around the table...fold.

Never fold pocket aces preflop in a cash game... NEVER!!!! 

However, in a tourney there could be some spots to fold them preflop...
