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.

Never gonna happen with 9 all in pre in first hand. So why bother?

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.

This sounds awesome, lets request a WSOP flipament, 6man tables, 1k buyin, everyone is all in each hand. 2 rebuys allowed.

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