Which situation would you prefer and why?

Final table. You are short stacked on the bubble with 3BB remaining. All seven opponents are pretty evenly matched for chips between them. You are dealt pocket aces on the big blind.

Situation one:
All players fold to you and you get the blinds

Situation two:
UTG shoves and gets 3 callers before you act, giving you the choice to call all-in our fold

I prefer the second option, it is the best possible situation in terms of the cards I have, and the possibility of drawing value from my blinds when facing three opponents. It is true that they lower the odds of beating them, but if I want to have any option to win the tournament is the best risk benefit game that I will find

Gladly bubbling all day with aces and never regretting it for a second.

Also I'm assuming I lost most of my stack in a big hand before this because I'd rarely fold down to 3BB to try to min-cash in a real money tournament.

Good luck to you! :D

The second option is a very advantageous situation. Especially at the final table. Therefore, of course the second option

I prefer the second option although AA in a well against several villains are more likely to lose, if I win this pot I would make a candidate minimum top 3 in the tournament

I'd rather be bubble boy with AA, at least it makes for a good post in the bad beats and brags thread.

I think the second option, it is the right choice.
