Default Re: $11; 2nd stack w/6 players holding AQo against early raiser

SNGPT, or perhaps more accurately ICM, measures the equity of a push vs. a fold on the assumption that the stack sizes dictate all that's important to know regarding the state of the tournment. But EV involves more than that.

I guess I should run through some scenarios to find out what it says, but I would be surpised if it came back -EV. However, just because a play is +EV doesn't mean it isn't more EV to do something else. For example, in $11's players tend to play way too passively as the number of players goes down. How much is this worth? Is it worth taking a chance of getting busted with AQo?
