Default Re: 20$: AA fold preflop? (honestly!)

[ QUOTE ]
people who are saying 'play for the win' and wtvr are incorrect. its all about ICM, not about 'playing for the win' . this is probably a shove, but I wouldn't be THAT surprised if some better posters said to fold this

Let's say villian calls 20%. We win T450 80 times out of 100. We win whatever (T1900ish) and take the chip lead 17 times and we lose 3 times. With a 65:35 payout it seems like it would be worth it to "play for the win" here.

Of course online is rigged so this is one of the 3 times hero is going to lose and he'll never be in this situation n more times to let variance catch up.
