    I'm 2nd in chips 11 players left.
    53K VS CL 68K
    Am already ITM for 50$ or soo.

    Got AA dealt to me on CO
    CL is the button ans is really tight
    Blinds 1000/2000

    MP (12K chps or soo) limp
    I raise to 6K
    Button reraise AI

    Ok its AA or KK
    most likely KK

    can I fold AA and cruise to the tp 5 where the $$$$ is or i call and bust once every 5 hands...

    Well... of course I called!!! worst is that I flopped an A but he hits his runner runner flush to kick me out!!!!

    top 5 was paying 350+, should I have wait?
    i guess the answer is no, but just cusious.

    KJ

    some very stupid people maybe.

    only time to fold AA is in a flat pay situation with a real short stacked person.

    I think the fact you thought about laying the hand down shows you're above 95% of online tourney players. Keep thinking about what your situation in the tourney is, and what the best decision is to improve your finish (after all, no single hand is more important than where you finish).

    The very fact that you said to yourself, "Oh wait, this is the guy who can bust me out" shows some real maturity. I can't really see myself folding here, but if you did lay this down, I would not be critical of the play given the stage of the tourney, your chip position, and the fact that you likely fold your way into a lot more $. Because you're right, you're going to bust out 1 out of 6 times.
