This is what checks and limps with aces lead to.

Very rarely in Omaha and never in Holdem.

No, I never fold АА preflop. There may be situations on the bubble in the tournament, but here I think it is not necessary to fold AA, although there are risks of not getting into the prize zone. In a tournament, it is important to collect chips, and not wait to get into the prize zone.

Once I folded AA in a tournament when I had a small stack and barely got into the prize zone.

Аt PokerStars AA preflop is pure fold, otherwise it's a bad practice not to play this holding, especially in a tournament.

I never discard this card, I go with it to the end, except if there is a flush after the river card, and I do not have an ace of this suit, then I fold.

I have never folded AA before the flop. Yes, it happens that they lose. But more often they still win.

Before the flop all in 99% ... 1% your time is up and you fold

I have once, when I was close to the bubble and 2 or more players were already all-in, my reasoning was if one of them bust's out then I am in the money and can continue to play.
Even if it meant I was only going to win double my buy-in, a profit is a profit and not to be sneezed at, My decision was right because the biggest chip stack won the hand with Trips and I would have only had 2 pair.
I actually made the Final table in that game and finished 3rd with a lot bigger prize, sometimes it pays to play cautiously and fold any 2 cards Pre-flop.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

Good fold. Remember, a pair of aces is just a pair - the 9th best ranking hand out of 10. With 6 callers, someone is going to hit something, so why call their all-ins with just a pair?TriszPoker said:

But why though? Why go with it until the end when it is just a pair?Elfina777 said:

Hey there,
you should almost never fold pocket aces preflop in cash games or most tournaments, as it is a highly profitable hand. Folding is only correct in rare, specific situations, such as in a big tournament or on the money bubble... for example: you got few BB left, be sure next hands you should be ITM and many big stacks entered the pot before you aswell. The chance of getting knocked out is significantly higher with more players involved and why taking that risk?

Shoving all in doesn't give you the maximum profit this hand can offer.
