Re: When do you fold AA?
Hand 1:
[ QUOTE ]
Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A. SB posts a blind of $0.25. UTG raises to $2, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $1.75, Hero raises to $5.5, UTG calls $4, SB calls $4.

A pot sized raise over UTG would have been .25 SB + .50 your BB + $2 UTG raise + $1.75 SB caller + $1.5 (you call) = $6, so a raise to $8 total (BB+call+raise) would have been "pot sized." I would recommend a raise to $8 total preflop. A raise like that would have probably left you heads up with UTG. After that, I don't think a hand like 3x is along for the ride unless it's 33 hoping for a set without good odds to do so. After that, I think you pay off UTG's QQ (full house), but you're ahead of everything else he might have here.
Oh, and if I did the psr calculation wrong, somebody let me know. I've been working on how to calculate it.
Hand 2 looks ok to me.
