20$: AA fold preflop? (honestly!)

Payout: Top two finishers.

SB is sitting out and will fold this hand. In two hands he i guaranteed to be out, as he will fold BB without a showdown.

BB have played quite passive during bubble play and have folded the SB to me twice in a row, even with the other guy sitting out. However, I have seen him raise aggressively in previous sng's as chip leader on the bubble.

I am 100% sure to reach the money if I fold this hand and the next if raised.

But should I really be folding this one?

no push if you are playing to win

Do you want to come first or second?

First, I want to reach the money. THEN I want to win.

I'd push. You have a lot of FE and you really need those 450 chips if you want a decent chance at 1st place because you are going to donate 300 chips next hand to the bigstack. If the BB pushes when you are the sb you can call and at worst finish 2nd (the guy sitting out folds at this site, right?)

Unless this is a satellite where top 2 get the same prize, this has to be a shove.

This is the stupidest question I have ever seen.

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
