Default Mini Step 5, Level 4 AQ Decision

I made it to Step 5 in Party's Mini-Step format. At the beginning of Level 4 my stack is about 1200, and there are 7 players remaining. Top 5 get paid, with $200 for 5th compared to an original $6 buy in. I didn't have to take any steps back, I went straight to Step 5.

Blinds are 75/150. I am dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] at the cut off, but UTG+1 pushes for 975 ahead of me. He has barely played until now. I put him on AK or middle pairs JJ, 10, or 9. Possibly AQ or AJ.

I fold. I would never fold in the normal $10/1 game I play. But then again, I am only really gambling $6 at this point: or is it the $200 and more that I could win (up to 2K) if I take a risk and see if my AQ holds? Is this a "take a gamble if you want to win" v. "make the right math move" question, or is it a money management question? Am I a sally with this fold, or just a cheap bastard looking to make at least $194 from a $6 investment?
