Yes, this really just happened to me. This is not just theory.
Down to 4 in a $10+1 SNG on Paradise. Myself and another player are extremely shortstacked, the two other guys are about even with the rest of the chips. I have the other shortie slightly covered. At this point the blinds are 150/300 I believe. I am in the SB, shortie 2 is in the BB. After posting, I have 400 and he has 205 so I have the slight advantage here, forcing him to likely go all in on the next hand when he gets the SB.
So here I am in the SB. UTG calls, button folds, and I find AA. My thinking is I could fold this and take my chances when shortie 2 assumedly goes all in on the next hand. He is not dumb, I don't see him being one of these players who will fold his SB leaving him with 55. If he does in fact call then its basically a tossup to him winning or losing against whatever the BB has, and if he wins them I'M the one in the tight spot. OR I could get my chips in here with the best possible starting hand and quite possibly double up, putting him in a much worse position. However of course this opens me up to the possibility of losing, since the BB is very likely to call the 250 with almost any two cards. Results later.
