Yes, definetely. In satelite tournaments where your chipstack is easily good enough to make the ticket and you won't achieve anything with winning more chips, aces are a standard fold if some other big stack is going crazy. Even preflop.

Unfortunately, in many cases I have thrown aces after the flop... never preflop!

There were a couple of moments when it was obvious that aces were weaker and I had to discard them to keep my chips.

Weak players often overestimate this hand, but it is no more than 87 percent against any other starting combination. And if there are a lot of players in the hand, the score is even lower, so there are times when I discard such a card. I advise all players with such a hand to think about their actions, especially when all the cards have been opened on the board and your combination has not increased.

Hi
There were times when I folded a couple of aces, and it was the right decision. When you have Ace of Crosses and Ace of Spades in your hands, and 4 Diamonds on the table, then which decision will be more correct? ..... Fold, of course, why take risks where there is no such need.
Good luck :)

You have been playing poker for 20 years and still haven't understood that sometimes folding is the most correct decision...... I hope that in 20-30 years you will understand it :)

preflop only if it's a tournament where tickets are won and my position doesn't improve my prize, if I'm insured I'll probably decide not to play AA, although I often have a hard time doing it and I lost because of that.
After the flop, I have no problem retiring if I think they don't have the courage to win.

Never pre flop. Post flop depending on many factors, I have folded them after seeing crazy flops and crazier betting. Refusing to lay them down can lose you a lot of you big blinds.

At times it is the optimal play to fold AA. for example on the bubble in a satellite when you have a big stack.

Pre flop only in a sattelite, in a tournament or cash, never.

Yes and I do, I should do it even more once the board screws me over and I know I'm beat. It's just a hard hand to lay down tho...

There are hands that you folded preflop, for example, you play a satellite and one person is up to the prizes, two players with the same stacks go into the pool in front of you - why should you risk it?

Totally, but I think the only possible situation would be in a satellite in which everyone wins the same ticket and I already have the sat guaranteed if I fold the hand. A situation where it is not necessary to risk a badbeat when everyone wins the same prize.

Depends on the situation and how far the hand is.

Pre-flop I don't think I would be folding in cash or tournaments. The only time you could consider folding is if you were in a satellite to get a ticket and you were on the bubble where winning doesn't matter.

There are lots of bad flops and boards for AA so you depending on board texture and opponent it could be a fold.

Of course I can if I’m in the bubble zone in an important tournament.
