Default Valid Reasons for Folding

The only reasons one might fold here is you are going to be called by the BB, unless he is terrible, and he could potentially suck out vs your pair. If this happens you will be at 263 and will most likely go out of the tournament.

Also the big stack could call your push with a less than premium hand and suck out.

If it is folded to you though pushing is your best option, you will basically double up if the BB calls and you will win that a vast majority of the time. If somebody wakes up to a higher PP then so be it. If the button calls with a-x and spikes an ace then so be it. If you do this a million times you will be doing much better than the few times you walk into larger pairs or get sucked out on by face cards.
