Very disciplined fold, but I quoted a response below which makes me want to ask you what your action was preflop?  Did you limp?  Did you raise/3 bet?

Your "set" of Aces (not trips) is ahead the vast majority of the time, and I agree with ohshoot that you want to build a big pot and get paid off.  Does it always work?  No, of course not, there will be times where you go bust, which would have happened here, but I agree that while it was a disciplined fold, your play backed you into this corner in the first place.  It's about applying pressure to your opponents, the kind of pressure that will force them to put their chips in bad.  In the long run, you get paid off SO WELL by doing this.

Limping Aces pre is asking to get yourself felted.  Are there times where sneaking in a limp is acceptable?  Depending on the table/specific opponent dynamic, of course.  But I see people DESPERATELY trying to set traps (it's actually quite obvious when they are doing it), that they will end up either losing value or trapping themselves.

If you're playing a satellite tournament where the prize is equal to all winners and you're on the bubble and you are in the middle of the pack, you're telling me you're going to play Aces instead of taking the guaranteed prize?  To quote you "It's a stupidity".  :D
