AA that should have been folded preflop
 

nothing special, just first time i've ever seen this. FPP satellite to the Sunday $215. Top 4 get tourney buy-in. 5th place gets nothing. I think he should have folded. Maybe others disagree.

100% fold

He also shouldn't have shown.

After shorty folds then yeah, probably. However he is short himself and I guess he figures this is his best chance to double in case shorty makes a comeback. Still it would be best to just fold and then have everyone limp next hand and check down, right?

I am not sure playing AA here with 6xBB is that terrible, even though there are two much shorter stacks.
