Can this be folded
The outcome is unimportant here, and this seems to be an obvious push, but I had to think about it. This is a turbo tourney that is down to 11 and I'm 2nd with a W of 4 and a Q of about 2. This tourney won't last another 30 hands, which means that those with healthy stacks will move up the pay chart quickly. It also means this whole event is a massive coin flip. The question is, in this situation do you want to put most of your stack on the line against someone with W of 2.5 and a Q of 1.25 when you could effectively blind into 4th or 5th? The villian has been a reasonable player, but I'm not sure that matters here.
