It made sense in my eyes.
I haven't read it LOL, my post caused a lot of laughter too but I feel I made valid points and made a good case for folding the AA pre flop under the circumstances.

My basic argument was I'd been playing solid, profitable poker for 2 hours and built up a huge stack.

Another player at the table also had a huge stack, I raised pre flop and he raised all in.

I just felt with so much hard earned work at the table it seemed silly going all in pre flop and risking it all with top pair- especially with a potential two more players to call. There just seems better chances to risk 100% of your stack IMO...

Of course AA pre flop is favourite here, but it isn't very often you have such a huge stack at the table. I guess the solution was simple however, just simply cash out and buy back in with the original buy in
