Does this apply in SnGs as well? If there are 4 players left (3 get paid) and one is a real short stack (under 4 BB) should we be folding even when we know we are ahead pre flop to avoid the variance?
This happened to me recently where a 35 13 chip leader (who had played okay throughout but pretty loose) limped the small blind and I checked ATs. Flop comes AQ7 rainbow and I know I am ahead of his range here. He leads and I shove. He flips over A7o and I bubble while the shorty gets ITM. I thought alot about this and I still can't decide 100% if it was the right play Yeah I lost but that doesn't mean I was wrong. Folding here would have left me with 11BB and 2nd place had 29BB. But maybe I should be waiting for a better spot after the bubble bursts?
