Is this a good candidate for folding AA pre flop?

Its the bubble of a sat into the £33 bounty hunter, top 27 get into final and low stacks on other tables include a few players on only 1 big blind.

The guy with the AA had about 17500 chips with blinds of 1500/3000 and was in about 7th pos at the time and coasting into final when this happened v the chip leader.

In all truth i think the worst part of his play was not pushing pre but just wondered how many players would make a case for even folding in this position which i wouldnt mind either ?

    Lol I was in this, I had about 15,000 at this point on the bubble and literally sat out to focus on other tables.

    This is a 100% fold pre flop.

    I wouldn't even see it to fold it. With a very comfy stack in a satt on the bubble I'd be sat out and watching the tennis. Just no need to get involved.

    Why on earth queen 10 off is in this hand i'll never know but i'm personally not folding aces. i'm just shoving pre, regardless to getting a call or not, even though it is a satelitte, you never know how long the bubble will last and after folding them you could be blinded yourself and bubble, different people have different logics in this spot, but i'm picking up the phone and calling all in pre!!
