His argument is not that he won't win by playing the aces, but that 
he'll win *even more* by folding.  But you have to be careful with what 
you mean by "more."  In terms of winnings per tournament, it is 
possible, in terms of winnings per hand (or per hour), it is almost 
certainly not possible.

So if you can go play another one right away, you should play the aces. 
 You might win a smaller percentage of the tournaments you play, but 
this will be more than made up for by being able to play more of them.
