Re: A4 fold from SB against BB
"BB was not overly aggresive or loose"
Totally depends on EXACTLY how/what he has been playing. I don't think I'd get him to fold except with maybe an all-in (although A4o isn't exactly a hand I'd want to all-in with). I'd also consider that the 2 shortstacks are about to lose 450 chips apiece to blinds, and with any luck both will get knocked out.
As long as he wasn't overly aggressive, he would fold unless he has something. If you won the all-in he's now only equal leader, and can't bully the way he could before. If he was overly aggressive he may call but you'd probally still be the better side of a coinflip. If you won then you are basically guaranteed of a place, with a great shot at 1st.
On paper I'd say all-in. Anyone thinking this is a bad move?
