Wait wait wait, were you already sitting out or were you debating a call? If you folded there because you were scared of losing that is the dumbest thing i have ever seen! Lucky for you it worked out

 if he shoved i would insta fold, since he only made it 450, if u call and the shorty calls, it will almost defenitly get checked down every time and now u make the short have to beat the other guy and u with AA.

problems include when shorty folds or when shorty tripples up.

i probably still lean towards a fold but i defenitly have to think about it

Add to this that other people are often really bad and might bust before they should, and this is even an easier fold than Nash suggests.

Good fold.

Interesting.  I would almost certainly have shoved there.  Shows how very very little I know about poker

this is a DON thats y folding AA on bubble or 7handed if u have a top 3 stack etc and r virtually guaranteed to cash then folding is fine. however in this spot i think calling the original raise is better like okse said since u further increase odds of eliminating shortstack
