folding is way way too tight

Thats me uber-rock, worth remembering that, only ever play premium hands.
As far as I am concerned, and I understand the comments above about going for the win but why gamble with this marginal hand up against 2 allins when your on the bubble, lose and your down to just 2.5BB putting yourself under pressure, better to fold and have more equity when your first into the pot with 10BB. Good fold imo, bad show.
bigredders:
yes its 2 all ins, but the difference here is the 2nd all in is mega short. If it was an all-in over the top of the original all-in then i think you might see some different responses, including my own. You have to ask yourself what if the 2nd all-in had folded, what would u do then.... u would insta call (or at least you should!) as i said in the previous post and george has also said you only have to beat the original raiser to make a profit on the hand, so really what the 2nd all-in has done is irrelevent.
mind you i suppose it depends on your aim... to ladder or to win the tournament.
mike saban:
good points.
I think my mind set here is to make the money and then win the tournament rather than risk not making the money.
antthecat:
i was concerned with the button who i thought had ak. i would have folded if it was a heads up situation and why would i risk 3/4 of my stack with a hand that was behind from the start and only needed to improve, i understand why i need to gamble to win tournaments (the money did not concern me) but if i was the first to shove with aq then that is ok but calling an all in is in my opinion a very loose call. if you keep going in behind then you will lose money in the long run(and i would not have earnt a sklansky dollar) and aq is called the doyle brunson for one reason, he hardly plays this hand as he calls it the biggest trouble hand and im not argueing with the legend.
