I know we always says that Pocket A's are just a one pair hand and one shouldn't put all their money in with it etc...
But did you ever actually folded A's post flop?
I'm talking about A's that were properly raised preflop, not slow playing A's.

Share your story.

I don't save stuff like that =/

it's pretty standard. my saved pokerhands are usually kind of incredible.

Most of the times I’ve folded them were when there was a possible straight or flush and my opponent made a massive bet/raise/re-raise.

At the end of the day it’s just a pair.

if you were on the button and 3 people infront of you went all in... being a short stack, i would probably calla n triple my money with the best hand preflop

being a Large stack, i would fold... why risk my entire stack when i dont have to?

when AA, you usually want to be heads up w opponent..

Because you have the largest edge pre-flop you can possibly get, and it's stupid and flat out bad poker to pass that up?

I thought we were done talking about folding aces pre-flop after the useless WSOP ME thread.

And I want HH, not theoretical situation we all love to talk about.

I don't see the mileage in this thread at all. Sorry to piss on your parade but there are so many times when folding Aces is a good move that it is like asking for HH when you'd fold any hand.
