I think you have your situations backwards. I would call in your WSOP example and fold your real life hand. Assuming your opponent has Aces preflop is ridiculous and playing scared is synonymous with horrible play. In your real life example he either has the nuts or nothing. I'd probably put him on the nuts and fold.

Mathematically speaking there are a ton more hand combinations that contain a queen than there are with two aces in them. Go re-read some of your foundation books as you don't seem to have a good grasp on the math needed for poker.
