Ignition $5 hyper turbo SNG. Payouts are $19.50 and $10.50 for 1st and 2nd.

3 players are left with blinds at 50/100.
- BTN (1680) is the chip leader has been shoving fairly wide but not every hand.
- Hero (930) has been a bit card dead since winning a big pot early.
- BB (390) has called several shoves light and has gotten lucky to stay in.
BTN open shoves, Hero in the SB has AhQh with BB still to act after. Hero?

Hero folds. You end up busting enough times that this is not a good spot to call. Even if he shoved 27 off you lose 1/3. If he has AJ you lose sbout 22% of the times. Even if you closed the action you still should fold. You would not gain enough equity to justify the call.

Easy fold. If the BB had a larger stack, the situation could be different.
