Folding AA pre-flop can be rationalized using pot odds. You are really an overwhelming favorite only against another pair. That said I would never fold them pre-flop.

I'm a little confused. You are a favorite against any other hand on the table unless someone else holds aa's then the flop comes into play based on the suit of your ace vs. that one opponent for a flush. Even if there are eight raisers ahead of me I'm bumping the pot again with a raise holding pocket aa's. It's quite simply the best hand you can have preflop. This video still mystifies me.

If there are 8 raisers in front of you more than likely some one else does have AA also. If 4 others play against the 2 pairs of aces then the aces have become a dog and in most scenarios you are only playing for a split. In some tournament situations you may want to fold just to be sure to advance. If no one else has AA then you are at worst a 3-1 favorite over suited 10-9. I've argued this with friends because I'm the only guy in our group that has ever laid down KK or QQ pre-flop. But I wouldn't lay down the aces unless it meant advancing past the bubble.

Finally watched the video. I don't know what he was thinking.

I can never rationalize layiing down aa's in any circumstance even if it gets you past the bubble. It's simply the best hand in that situation. Honestly I love picking on "bubble players" and they're very easy to spot. Love love love pushing them around.

I guess he swore he wasn't playing any more hands that night and he stuck with it. That said, I don't know how you can give up AA pre-flop, especially in that situation.
