When should AA be folded?
Most people reading this question are probably laughing and just answering never. I ask this question because it makes sense to me that in some occasions it's more proffitable to fold pocket aces than playing it. The easiest scenario is to think is that you are in a final table and everyone has the same stack and they all go all in (full table). A fold seems logical, since you will probably end up in a heads up after this hand and will get at least 2nd place (if you're not unlucky and the pot is chopped). My question is, considering pay jumps, probability, ICM, etc.. when is it profitable to fold AA preflop?
Obs- I know situations in which you should fold aces preflop are almost impossible to happen, but I'd still like to hear thought on this
