you were playing a MTT and only one more player needs to get busted for you to get in the money and someone with enough chips to bust you went all in and everyone else folded(heads-up)?

If the money was enough to make a difference I would (and depending how flush I was with cash at the moment). If we are talking about $20 no, if we are talking a long ass tournament, and the min cash was like $5000, I would seriously consider it depending on my current financial condition.

I think i agree with you. I would never fold pocket Aces deep in tournament on the bubble. I dont just wanna min cash i wanna run even deeper. I already accomplished cashing. but maybe yea if the min cash was very large amount according to my br/finances...maybe fold ..even then id feel horrible about it.

No, because if you go out you can complain about how you got your Aces cracked :)

I've folded aces once or twice in a satellite situation (or double-or-nothing SnGs) where it was pretty eminent that someone else was gonna go out first.

Ok, some good points here, i can see you calling if that means a shot at being the chip leader, but let's make it more interesting now:

Blinds are 250/500, you are the chip leader with a 20k stack, villain has a stack of 17k rest average between 5k-12k and several below the average, if you get busted, you are not out but you are below the average now, if you win, you pretty much sealed your seat. do you still call?

The only time you should even consider this is in a satellite/survivor tournaments (where multiple players are awarded the same prize) and you have enough chips that you could blind down and still cash.

If you can go all in and still keep minimum of 3000 chips 6 bb and only one player needs to be eliminated in bubble then go for it. Depending on number of callers you wil havel 50 - 90 % winning chance and will be well placed for rest of mtt.

If you risk to get kicket out as last one in bubble and getting in the money is essentiel for you will be a very good idea to fold. Eg. All prices are the same tickets or a 50/50 tournament. Or if you play monthly leaderboard and getting in the money means pluspoint.

But normal mtt you are in it to win it play the aces.

No not pocket aces or similar premium hands. Pocket aces is the best hand at poker and I have won so many pots with aces. That's not a hand to fold when you want to get at the top places.
