Re: Is there ever a time when you should lay down AA pre flop?

Statistically speaking, there is no reason to ever muck AA preflop; its the best starting hand. In a cash game never, in a tourney only in a on-the-bubble position.

If only 6 spots out of 9 are paid and you're looking at a 4 way all-in fest; its probably reasonable to fold for a near guaranteed payout. More than likely, at least 1 if not 2 of your A's are gone. It all depends on how risk adverse you are. Then again there's no shame in going in with the best hand win or lose.
