You have an account on Maniacpoker; you are playing their new 10-handed SNG product (payouts 50/30/20) where every player MUST go all-in preflop on the first hand, EXCEPT for the big blind who can exercise the option to fold.

You know the owner of the site, and he has rigged the game so on the opening hand, you are always the big blind and will randomly be dealt either JJ,QQ,KK, or AA.

Which do you push, which do you fold? Goes without saying you are not guaranteed 2nd by folding due to split pots.

What is the point of this exercise?

fold every time...likelihood of a split pot between more than two players on the first hand is very low...you will make amazing profit if you always fold

I tell that [censored] to deal me aces every time. Maybe AK 10% so it doesn't look too rigged.

Entertainment value mostly, although I'm curious how you would quantify the odds of a split pot occuring in a 9-way shove.
