It is good to be tight here, but I think it's not too bad a call if you put SB on ANY two, which seems to be accurate.

A7 might not make it, but I guess AT will.

Yeah but the problem is that the short stack is so short. If the guy had like 1300, and not 750, it would be an easy call. But because the short stack is going to have to post almost half his stack to pass the next blinds, that gives him a very good chance of going broke before you are even in 'desperation' mode. So therefore you can fold here, passing up a very likely +EV chip edge, but retain the GIANT cash EV edge you have.

Understanding when to place more value on cash EV than chip EV is what separates the great sng players from the rest of them.
