    I have.

    I'm sure I've done it more than once, but one specific time I can remember I was playing a six-man double up. Top three players got paid. We were down to four people. Two huge stacks, two tiny stacks. I had one of the huge stacks, and the other was a maniac moving all in all the time. He moved all in on my big blind and I instafolded. No reason to gamble even if I'm 80+%.

    Think I unintentionally folded AA one time playing online several years ago. Was drinking and had to go piss and when I got back I had three seconds or whatever it was to act. Needless to say I timed out and was folded. Think it was a tourney and not a cash game.

    Yes this is a fold. Would love to hear other guys hands they folded aces. Really this is about the only realistic situation.

    Fold it all the time depending on money/stack size situations. If I'm at a cash game probably not but tournament play definitely.

    If this was a poker forum and not a sports betting site, people would be laughing their ass off over this thread.

    People do realize this is preflop right?

    More than probably not. Why would anyone ever fold AA preflop in a cash game?

    I am folding AA preflop when I suspect my opponent has a a juiced up left-shift key, good timing, and loves to play unsuited 5 gappers. If they know how to kick in the rig, AA is usually dead in the water.

    Yeah... I'm probably the most inexperienced card player here.... but...

    If I'm on bubble.... or tournament leader.... or whatever... you give me AA... I'm not folding. Consider it destiny either way.... if you win or lose... let em ride.

    But I can see where all of you are coming from.

    did daddy Brunson really say... 'Aces win a lot of little pots but lose a lot of big ones' ?

    something like that

    This and you can argue folding it in a rare scenario at the final table with multiple people already all-in and you guarantee that you'd cash more by folding.
    If you fold aces in a cash game you shouldn't be playing.

    Once saw a guy show his folded KK on something like a K82 flop because "he knew the flush was coming".

    Well look who is back from his 2.5 year hibernation.

    Now pony up for pro status broke dikk & get back on the poker tables, so I can slow roll your left shift key ass.

    I don't think anyone is here is going to be surprised about you posting in a thread regarding folding premium hands before the flop.

    As far as slow rolling me, that would require you actually getting a hand to showdown. My guess is that this is slightly less frequent that major cosmic events like the Big Bang. Applying the correct pressure and timing to your shift key doesn't really help you when you just fold anyway.

    I'll have some major news about all of MY INCREDIBLE RESULTS from the last few years, and how my DEEP HAND history research can benefit online poker PLAYING SBR POSTERS very soon. The rig has changed my FRIENDS, but fortunatley for YOU ALL I have mastered the trends over my career total 17 MILLION HANDS PLAYED. Get ready to RAKE IN THE DOUGH.

    I'll also have some tips on further adjusting to the acute VORTEX manipulations in the SBR Poker ROOM to assist those WHO WANT TO dominate the LEADER BOARDS at this very SITE! Your small lead is very vulnerable, BobbyWaves. Users employing my techniques are sure to surpass your totals in short ORDER.

    Yes in a sit and go. down to 4 people top 3 get paid. 2 players controlled like 95% of the chips in play. Low stack went all in with only like 3 big blinds left i didnt have much more. big stack raised me all in and i just folded, and the guy got knocked out and i cashed.

    even if i tripled up i still had almost no shot of finishing in a better spot.
