In Texas 2 card hold'em,
if at all,when would you fold pocket aces?

When you are playing in a small satellite event which pays x number of places that guarantees you a seat at a bigger event.
There are x+1 players left and you have a small stack.
You're in early position and you limp in the blinds leaving you with ONE chip left.
Suddenly there's an all-in bet followed by a call and another call.
I'd pass Aces in a flash in this situation as your aim is to win a seat in the bigger event...not all the chips.
Hope one of the three players now in the pot will knock out one of the smaller stacks that also got involved in this pot.
Its an easy fold!

There is not enough information in this question. Do you mean pre-flop or after the flop? The only time pre-flop when you should fold aces are when your in a tournament where the final 9 people get the same prize. Such as a entry into a bigger tournament. If there is 10 ppl left and 2 ppl seem like they would die very soon. If you have aces and the chip leader is raisign you, you might fold aces.

Hi
You will realise, with experience, that that is the hand most money is lost on. You fold pocket Aces if there is a easy possible straight, flush, 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind in the flop. There are quite a lot of hands that can beat that, because it is only a two of a kind!! I have lost against 3 of a kind deuces with the American Airlines( Pair of Aces)!!
Good Luck!

when the flop is 3 fours, or three of anything, or 3 all the same suit or when there is a straight possibility on the board, or even when you realize that the pocket aces, is really pocket 2's :-)

it is a must to see the flop. after the flop, if someone else have any of these possibilities (3 of a kind, straight, or flush), i would bet one more round at reasonable money just to see if the other person really does have something better or he could bluffing it too but anyway pocket aces, u must at the least see the flop.

if its before the flop you cant fold pocket aces its only after the flop that they get in trouble so mabe go all in before the flop to knock others from calling after the flop the worst that can happen is somone else goes all in to you.

If your playing Texas Hold-em, you need to get a real life.
Join a card school with at least one guy over 35 in it. But then if your playing hold-em you don't know what a 'card-school' is.
The worst games in the world are 9-ball, hold-em and mickey mouse. Real men don't play any of them. Unless they are broke and need money.

post flop, turn and river, when someone shows you their cards and you know they're beating you.
otherwise, I'd probably stay in, at least 'til the flop, of course depending on how others raise.

The first answer you got said it all...there is not enough information in your question.
But pre flop? Never.
After flop, depends on the board...see one of the answers above.

When you are in a saloon and the other players all have pistols and you don't... fold like origami!
