Default Re: I folded AA. Was this the correct move?

Others might disagree...I think you should have pushed your chips to the center here...unless the payout structure for this tournament was much different than the ones I play on Party, your gain from 3rd to 2nd place wasn't as significant as the gain from 3rd to 1st place. If you call and lose, OK, 3rd place. If you sit and win, yes, you're almost guaranteed 2nd, but you're a lock not to finish 1st, as whomever wins the pot will have 7K in chips to your 1K.

By pushing, at least you've gotten all your chips in, against both opponents, with the guaranteed best hand.

I would rate this differently if there were four players remaining, but seeing as you're already in the money, why not try to win 1st place?
