AA e folded this hand many times and although the statistics say that I will win 80% and lose 20% I totally miss the opposite, and when I get this hand I see ugly

Summing everyting mentioned above there is no single tactic wether to fold pocket monsters or not. Everything depends on a precise case. The only thing I've already discovered is that going all in with AA doesn't give you even 60% chances to win a pot, so that more cautious and slow play tactics is to be applied in such situation. Any further thoughts, guys?:confused:

AA, KK, AK

I've done lots of folds with good hands.
AA, KK, AK.
When I go out with these cards I play All-In before opening the flop, because the risk of losing is as great as winning the hand, since if you do not turn any of them ... the loss is certain.

Maybe you are close to the money or a big pay jump. You don't really want to take risk right now but you look down at a big hand. Some players move all in which would put you all in. You go back and forth whether to fold or go all in but you make the fold. What's the biggest hand you've ever folded pre flop? What was the reason for the fold? I've folded KK once and don't think I ever will again. I was on the money bubble and regretted it. I would have won against 2 all ins.
Ace high flush but possible beaten by one card straight flush.

AA, KK, QQ in the post-stage I drop after the action with two or more players to hit the final table

AJ AQ unsuited

AJ AQ are foldable preflop I also think that AK is overrated especially when I'm not in a strong position in terms of stack size

I would never fold KK preflop, but I have folded AQ off, rarely do I fold AQ suited though. I always fold AJ, in fact, I damn near never even play it unless action is folded to me and it's suited.

A Q ! When you do not have any where, you have to throw it away.

Folded even AA if it's the beginning of _really_ cool tournament and some fishes mindlessly go all-in.

There is not enough info to know if this is a decent lay down. Isolated all in against one person (or most likely one person), folding AA is terrible. As more people are in for all-in, value obviously decreases. But to fold AA because it is a cool tournament is a terrible excuse. Much better to end up with double chips early in the tourney and then use that stack to make moves and chip up even more.

And the worst I have folded pre is QQ.

QQ and only because of the player that 4 bet me was a very tight passive player and only showed AA in this spot in the past.

I've folded QQ tons of times preflop in my 17years of poker. I've also had my "spidey" senses go off with kings but can't lay it down PF.

Probably the best cards that I threw off on the pre flop were AK, or 10.10. I threw them off because I was not sure I would win, but I could wait until the prizes without it.
