is my AA gonna kill me?

SB likes his hand enough to isolate but not enough to want more cards. It's largely irrelevant what BB has. You have to be ahead here so stick it in.

I don't play satellites. Does it make a difference?

I vomit and fold. This is just ridiculous. Hopefully the bigstack has JT and KOs short stack. Then you are in a race with 5th place to get the last spot, and they hit the blinds before you.

Preflop, I just jam this with the SB being a big stack. It feels a bit like a waste of AA, but you are decently ahead of 4 and 5 and taking the pot is solid. Also, the big stack in the SB can't take a flyer on some suited connector and bust your ass. If a medium stack was in the SB I'd raise to 1500 or so, b/c they are just as worried about losing as we are, and they don't have the luxury of calling off that amount of chips and hoping for a good flop.

cryyyyyyyyy. Gotta fold this now and pray that im beat. Too many hands to fend off even if u ahead at the moment. One has to have a 9. There's gotta be like 12-15 outs combined between the 2 of them. Hopefully big boy wins and u can inch closer to qualifying.

... If I got to dodge I still have a 70/30 situation here. The thinking that we need to dodge alot of hands if we are ahead is just wrong thinking.

I call this thinking both of them may be sitting on one pair each. I only really have to worry about one of them since I got the other one covered.

Those PF calls were ridiculous.
I'd be inclined to raise more PF because I almost never want action in the late stages of a satellite, particularly when I'm in line for a seat.
