There is no unambiguous answer to this question. Depends on your position, stack size of your opponents, and their aggressiveness - how often they are inclined to take your push from a short stack.
Aces are a good card, but they do not guarantee you 100% winnings. And the more opponents see the flop and the next streets, the less chance you have to win the hand.
Probably there is a situation where you should throw out even AA, if you are sure that you have enough chips in order to survive the bubble. If you have a short stack, you should carefully evaluate the dynamics of the tournament position on the bubble. After all, even winning and increasing your stack by 3 or 4 BB hardly improves your tournament position.
This does not make you a winner or an at least finalist of the tournament.
While losing will simply deprive you of money.
In all other cases, you must of course play aces - this is the best hand in Hold'em.
If it's not a satellite MTT bubble, there is no reason to fold AA preflop.

Increasing a short stack by 3-4 BBs can be significant. If you add 4 BBs to a 10 BB stack, that's a 40% increase.
I was playing a micro stack Sit and Go, and most of the time when I get AA, I will go all-in or just 4B. But how do you play AA on the bubble? If I go all-in I could be the bubble boy or missplay my hand.

Perfectly agree to one. So much only complement the important positionsThere is no unambiguous answer to this question. Depends on your position, stack size of your opponents, and their aggressiveness - how often they are inclined to take your push from a short stack.

Dont ever fold AA in a micro anything, you play it hard and fast and accept whatever the result. If you lose dont feel bad because it was probably going to happen any way.

Because min-cashing is nowhere as significant as making it as deep as you can, or even winning an MTT.Not if he's going to make the bubble and wants to cash
This is silly. Of course there will be more favorable flops for AA than 66.I would play it cautiously, like its a pair of 6's.....and get to a flop....it the flop is favorable, act accordingly.
