| I've done it. In a satellite, I had plenty of chips (can't remember then numbers, but 50+ BBs) and we were on the bubble (something like 8 people left with 7 seats) with a couple of people with less than 3 big blinds. Someone raised ahead of me (not one of the shorties) and there was no point getting involved. |

| Say you have quarter size average tournament stack but are not yet really short stacked. Three people go all in before you. If you go all in and win, you will come up to average. If you lose, you are out. Versus three RANDOM hands AA is less than 50% and these people think they have something. Fold and wait for a better deal. |

| I've folded them once, was transferring 20$ to a friend, but had to transfer at least 50$ if done the legal way. So we sat down and I got dealt AA at the first hand, so I raised it up to 19.90 and folded for the last 10 cents. Other then that, I don't think I'll lay them down easily. |

| Honestly, I don't know why you would. I can't think of a single situation, other than bubble play in a tournament, when you would fold AA preflop. I mean, this game is entirely built on getting your chips into the middle with the best hand. AA is the best starting hand possible. I've mucked AA plenty of times, but only when the board turned on me, my aces didn't improve, and I felt I was beat. But pre-flop? No way! |

| re: Is there ever a time to flood AA preflop poker The only time I have mucked AA pre-flop is in a freeroll. Ten-handed table with 8 sitouts, I colluded with the other guy to take down the blinds in turn. This may not be ethical but with so many sit outs the tournament had no credibility anyway. |

| I think near the bubble is the only spot where it might happen in any sort of periodic fashion, as Irexes described. I was following the WSOP Main event threads on another forum and this indeed happened in the main event. I think the money positions started around the 650th position (just going by memory) and as they were playing hand-for-hand somea few players admitted (and I think one showed) that they folded Aces in hopes of making ITM. |
