In satellite tournaments. Do you ever fold AA preflop? I have done it once before.

If you're in a position where you can comfortably wait it out to the prize ticket, then I would just sit out. If you're borderline, then you can't fold aces.

This pretty much explains it. If you need more chips to be comfortable and could be on the verge, you have to play them. If you're in first and 2 spots away, fold.

I never fold AA, not preflop, not flop, my hand does not rise to do this.

This is pretty incredible. I couldn't fold pkt aces because it may have been 1000 hands since I last seen them. In my time back (a week?) I've seen AA once. I mean if you're the player being dealt 4 high PPs in 5 hands every tournament or satellite you play that seeing AA is as simple as waiting one round of blinds, then sure go ahead. Maybe I'll subscribe to this thread and post the next time I get Aces to see what I mean.

I've never been able to fold an ace pair. Somehow it doesn't work, though I've lost it many times already.

It is difficult but if it usually happens, sometimes if you are very involved in the tournament and want to continue moving forward when the moment comes, you have to fold aces. That's life, that's poker :D

Yes, I did it, on the bubble, when few people going all in and I had less chips than them.

Absolutely agree with you, to many times I lost with aces, but if I desperately need chips aces are the best to move all in
