There is a thread around here that debated this exact issue.

This was the very first hand of a Step 1 SnG.

Full Tilt - 15/30 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

SB: 1,500.00
BB: 1,500.00
UTG: 1,500.00
UTG+1: 1,500.00
MP: 1,500.00
MP+1: 1,500.00
LP: 1,500.00
CO: 1,500.00
Hero (BTN): 1,500.00

SB posts SB 15.00, BB posts BB 30.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 45.00) Hero has A:heart: A:spade:

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to 1,500.00 and is all-in, Hero calls 1,500.00 and is all-in, fold, fold

Flop: (3045.00, 2 players) J:club: K:spade: 6:heart:

Turn: (3045.00, 2 players) J:spade:

River: (3045.00, 2 players) T:heart:

CO shows Q:spade: A:club: (Straight, Ace High)
Hero shows A:heart: A:spade: (Two Pair, Aces and Jacks)
CO wins 3,045.00

Nah, it's ok to shove with just a pair, but to CALL with just a pair....

It's too bad this crap has to happen, but you have to be pretty happy when someone shoves all in when you have AA and they also have an ace. At least until the cards come out.

As I said, there was a whole thread that debated this exact issue. However in that thread it was talking about if you were on the button with AA and there was a shove from EP and a caller, would you call with AA if it was the first hand of a one table SnG?

This is a little different since it's just against one shove.
