Is there any time you should fold pocket aces in a cash game. Lets say I got 300 dollars at a 1/2 table and theres been three all ins already for over 200 dollars each and I only started with a hundred and Ive worked my way up to 300 and now I have no money in the pot looking at 3 all ins and its gonna cost me 290 to call because of one of the guys the others have right at two hundred. This happened to me at the casino two days ago and I called and lost. One guy had kk and the other AK and 10jq ended up on the board. Should I have folded since I was up so much or should I always push there knowing I will usually win.

There is more to the decision --- a lot has to do with the players at the table, your tolerance for losing and your position

Without taking anything else into consideration with 3 already allin, I would have folded - 3 allins means your chances of hitting trip aces are extremely low. Any pocket pair hitting trips has you beat

well, looking at the odds calculator  in a 4 way all in, AA wins 61.14% KK has 7.83% AK suited has 9.94%, 10J suited has 20.07%

Seems like odds say CALL, but if it was me, and three all ins before me and I gotta put in 98% of my stack, I would fold. And this is with out being concerned on player types. Of course if it was a freeroll, and early, hell yeah, call.

But a 4-way is you having 61% edge. NOT MUCH

A two way AA vs KK, u got 81.06 vs 18.55
AA vs J10 suited, 79.19 vs 20.39
AA vs AK suited, 87.23 vs 11.51

A three way AA vs KK vs AKsuited is 78.95 vs 9.37 vs 10.36
AA vs KK vs AKsuited is 78.22 vs 10.26 vs 10.32
AA vs KK vs J10 suited is 68.20 vs 11.16 vs 19.59

The point is, in a 4-way, 61% is pretty dam close to a coinflip.

I would call too just because it is the best pre-flop hand.
If an ace came out on flop, i would be so mad at my self.

Been there with 2 AA and all in and lost to 2 small pairs how frustrating but thats the way the cards fall sometimes.
