Bubble of sat for £33 bh tonight(although 4th pays £19.80) and I've got an idea he's not folding so there's a good
chance that it's going to be a flip (At best). Player to my left has 8k,other one 14ish i think. Can I wait for a better spot or go all-in as I did? A normal tourney I wouldn't bat eyelid about jammimg it in his eye but sat dynamics makes me wonder if a fold would be better in this format.

The logic is simple: Let's say we have 20BB and our opponent shoves 7BB into us. We have AA and we snap fold. Why?
Because if we call, we'll win our seat right now between 80% and 94% of the time. If we fold, we'll win our seat in the next ten minutes 100% of the time. So the correct play is to fold.
With 11BB on the bubble, we can be fairly patient and wait for someone else to bust. Usually at this stage there is someone hanging on with just a few blinds and they will bust soon enough. We can pretty much let ourselves get as low as 5BB or 6BB before we have to shove, and for you that means as many as 6 more orbits. The chances of someone busting in those 6 orbits are vitually 100%, so the fold is definitely the way to go.
Well, I'd still fold here. You really want to get your chips in first and you can be fairly sure that's he's going to call a shove. He knows that you're going to be shoving alot before he makes his initial raise, so ought to have at least half a hand. You don't have much fold equity here. It is a bit trickier than I'd thought but I still think it's a fold.
EDIT: Bubble of Sat? Always a fold.
