LC: ICM would it be right to fold AA

Lets say it was the first hand of a 9 man sng payout structure 1st 50% of prize pool 2nd 30% 3rd %20 you are on the bb with aa everyone else shoves is it right to fold aa here.Im thinking it would be because you would guarantee yourself 30% of prize pool and you would win 50% of prize pool about 10% of the time as well if you fold.Whereas if you call you are going to lose about 30% of the time and im guessing you get paid 20% of the prize pool split 7 ways which is basically nothing.Would anyone know if using ICM this is the correct fold.

after that hand there would still be 700 players left, so by folding you'd have an instant 100% roi. I'd prob fold there too, yea.

Just call and then bitch and complain when you inevitably lose to 68o like everybody else does.
