At one point while playing a $2 SnG today I picked up TT in the BB. Blinds were 50/100 and there were still 8 players in it. MP1 fired a raise to 300 and action folded around to me. He had over 3k chips while I had about 1100, and I knew it was likely I was in a race situation. But I couldn't figure out if it was profitable to go for the race or not! I decided with only 11 BB's left this was a good spot to at least go for a double up and get a decent shot at making it ITM, so I shoved. Villain called and flipped AKo, hitting a K on the flop and knocking me out.
It really made me wonder, if fold equity is gone, when is it a good move to accept a flip?
P.S. I realize there's no way I could have "known" I was facing a flip, as villain could have easily had JJ-AA, but I'm just saying I knew it was more LIKELY villain was raising there with AK, AQ, AJ, or KQ, simply because there are more possibilities in the deck to make those hands.
