AA final table
With the AA I bet everything, it is always better to be the aggressor and it is the best hand the chance to lose this hand is very small and if someone pays you will get a lot of chips, what do you think is good to bet everything yes or no?

Call for sure
There is no way i will fold AA with a shove from SB even though he is chip leader. Situation here is as you are at the bottom he range you, and think about your move like you are trying to steal the blinds. First you didn't 3-bet cause no once raise before you just raise. And as you are at BTN your range could be AT, 99, TT, so on. This guy may be on JJ, QQ, AQ, AK and if he has KK AA he would have re-raise trying to take the most EV of his hand. Men you have the best hand preflop, just one player, the chip leader and you are about to take all his chips. Call will be always the best, you will win 4 of 5 times. If luck it is not in you side thats ok. you don't want to win a third or fourth place. you want to be 1th and with all those chips on your side you can at least be 2nd.

Certainly the Leader chip wanted to intimidate the entire table.
Analyze what you have top pair and the table in great position, the chip leader does not know that you have one for A, it probably has to loudly or even a couple of A.
For my vision of the game should rather give call.
We have to be prepared for the reaction of our opponent.

What is your goal?
The way I read your intro, you'll be happy with 9th place, but 8th is significantly better, etc.
As others have said: if you call, you have some 20% chance of leaving in 9th place
What they didn't say: if you fold, you have near 100% chance of leaving 8th or better, depending the relative stack sizes.
Rude/bad example: this week I played a 1 table play money S&G where 1 player was sitting out for the entire game. The player sitting out became 3rd, itm. Thus: 6 players took too much risk at some point in time; doing nothing would have given a better pay.

not only that, if he stacks for his 80% equity he will most likely have a massive chiplead over all the other players. Wich usually should grant him atleast Top 3 if not even more.
So its a easy call. If youre afraid of loosing, dont play poker. Loosing is a part the game. If you wouldnt loose people you have an edge over wont play. So go hard or go home

i call ,can not not pay with that hand and in that instance, if you do not play that hand is not how you came to the final table, you always have to put pressure on the other players at the table, but also at the final table, the difference in earnings between 1 and 9 is a lot, but worth the risk if you play the hand and get as chipleader!

If chip leader is shoving and u have A A then good chance he his AK KK QQ so I think its a call its depends on the info u have on the player aswel has he got all they Chips from wining flips or playing good poker so he might b wild and b shoving with 99 or something AQ and AJ I see ppl getting that in all the time as well so my awnser stands its a call. To win tournaments u have to take chances and u have the best chance with the Blades

What cards are You willing to play when You considder to fold AA ?
You can get your chips in here as the favorite... So GO FOR IT!
If You fold here because of fear to be eliminated by an underdog all-in then You better not play poker at all... maybe chess
Winning this hand ( in which You probably are a HUGE favorite ) will give You the chiplead on the final table and allow You to play tight without pressure because of the high blinds...
There is no better thing that can happen to You than this situation and a fold here is the worst decission You can make in poker.
