    Okay. The question is at least odd. But to make sure we're on the right track sometimes the obvious has to be discussed! Is there any situation that can be more profitable folding AA preflop? Ex. By ICM? Half of the tournament you are in second with a lot of chip (about 200bb) and the chip leader comes all in over you holding a pair of AA? 1st hand of the tournament? Three or more entered ALL IN pre flop and you have AA in hand .... and I do not know any other situation. In the bubble?

    You are generally ahead against anyone with aces, however, that margin is diminished by how many different hands you face. The more in the pot, the odds drop of course. Heads up it's really a no-brainer, you are such a huge favorite, and if you want to place in the money, you're overly cautious against the chip leader, but if you play to win, you take that matchup almost everytime (exception might be you feel you can outplay the entire room - which is subject to their luck, so not as guaranteed as you might think, even when in 2nd place). Get all the chips.
