HI all!
Sorry if I'm not posting this right, I'm very new to this.

I was dealt AA and lost to (two!) draws. I'm wondering if I could have found a fold realistically, or anything else I could have done differently

PokerStars - 25/50 NL - Holdem - 9 players

MP+1: 26.4 BB
MP+2: 36 BB

Main Pot [79.7 BB]: (Pre 66%, Flop 51%, Turn 2%)

Preflop raise is on the low end.
Flop is good. Dunno why you would want to fold.

You have 50.5% to win a tripple up.

In terms of Equity:
Folding -> 15
Calling and losing -> 9.4
Calling and winning -> 30.1

(30.1 * 0.505) + (9.4 * 0.495) = 19.8 > 15

So in order to find a fold you need some psychic abilities that let you know the future.
Or you need some very solid read on your opponents. Technically it is the kind of board where you can find a fold as it is both coordinated and monotone.
But imo against unknown/weak opponents you should find enough hands you beat to get it in.

When I did above reply, I was slightly triggered. Because you want to fold based on your results. Thats wrong, as technically against the actual hands you are more than enough ahead.

Then however I did the same mistake, basing my reply on the results, meaning their hands.

But, frankly I have a hard time finding ranges that allow for a call.
So you should indeed fold and probably bet a bit less on flop.

Pokerstars structure without antes?

If it's 1 table SNG on mid coordinated board you can find folds as preflop action went, even more so if the board would be two toned
