on a pre-flop and never a flop, depending on whether it turns on a turn, it could be very unfavorable for me

In a local casino tournament a while back, I was dealt a pair of aces (AA), the best starting hand in poker. The table was filled with aggressive players, and the bets quickly escalated. Despite the excitement, the community cards didn't favor me, and my opponent's aggressive betting raised suspicions.
As the bets increased, I faced a tough decision. Despite holding a strong hand, I opted to fold my aces, suspecting my opponent had a better hand. To my relief, my instincts were right, as my opponent revealed a bluff with a pair of queens. It was a tough fold, but it taught me the importance of reading situations in poker and making strategic decisions, even with a powerful hand.

Yes, if the flop pairs up or three of the same suit is on the board.

This is rare, but sometimes you have to throw cards away

Pre flop all in I just can't fold, I don't see any situation that I may fold. Post flop yes, I already did in a few situations.

No, if I get aces, I go all the way with them! And if I lose with them, it's the poker room's fault, of course. :ROFLMAO: Aces are a guarantee of emotions, like a birthday gift. Not all gifts are good, of course, but these are emotions. That's what we're all here for. :poop:

I had already felded AA in a satellite tournament when I knew that I would get in with my chip in the next round.
Anyway, it's hard to imagine me folding preflop.
Postflop, there were already many situations when I folded.

If someone goes all-in, I always call, but if we reach the flop and the cards are unfavorable for me, I either call or fold if someone raises. Same situation with AK.

In a prize bubble, I would fold just to secure a payout and keep playing. The crucial part is to win enough to build a substantial bankroll and eventually transition into becoming a professional player

Really depends on a few things, preflop you got the best hand and could got all in if you need chips (despite not guaranteed to win), on the flop, sometimes I do fold AA if there's running cards, two of one kind like two Kings or depending on how much one bets at that stage.

Recently I busted with AA at a freeroll, I 3 bet a raise and the villian called, flop was KQJ and I went all in, they called with KQ, didn't get a set or straight to save myself. Looking back I should've either checked or bet small to see if they were going to go all in or raise me.

I would only do it in a satellite tournament, if we are in a bubble and someone bets everything; I would fold with AA if there is a player with few chips since it would make no sense to risk my chips

It depends on my stack, the number of chips and of course the flop situation.

Preflop with AA is okay not to fold... but postflop there is many circunstances you have to.
