    Question Fold aces on a paired flop?

    Ever fold on the flop? Is there ever a flop or a circumstance that would force you to let go of the almighty pocket aces?

    I was told today by another player that he folded aces when faced w/ to a flop of because he said he knew he was beat.. Now I had played w/ this guy for a couple of hours and he was a 98%er on OPR so I started to believe him but what do you think?? I asked him to send me the pic or to post it on here and he agreed, so we will just have to wait and see if it happens.. It was for all of his chips if that helps..

    Easily. And even more so if the board is Suit Suit Suit and neither of my aces is that suit. I'm gone.

    Obviously we all know that everything is situation based. That being said, I wouldn't flatly say that I would fold here, especially in this situation. You have staight and flush re-draws, so seeing a turn would be really important. I will say that I have folded Aces many times post-flop depending on the scenario. To me, Aces is one of the biggest "donkey factors" at a tournament because new players can't come off of them, regardless of the board or the player.

    I've folded KK utg preflop, 6 handed, that was my biggest ever laydown.

    Droppin' overpairs on the flop like its my job.
    "You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone"

    You have to be able to lay down overpairs on dangerous flops, remember all you have is one pair and last time I looked that was not very high on the list of hand rankings. Again this comes down to many additional factors (board, opponent(s), structure, chips stacks, pot odds, etc...).
