Call imo.

Though reads would be good as this changes alot. Especially on the big stack.

To finish 3rd which is our only concern we have to lose to both and DSET has to scoop the lot.

I would probably put lateentry on a mid pp and dset on a bigger ace or JJ+ so it's a fold for me.

DSET doesn't have to call here so I'm assuming he has something that he thinks gives him a chance. The CL doesn't have to have much but wouldn't want to double up anyone that could jeperdise his position to qualify.  You've only got AJs and are easily beaten and at best are only 60/40.  I don't see the need to be getting involved here, we're in good shape and better chances will come, either for you or for the CL to take out the shortstack.

easiest fold ever imho.

if you had a pair of 99 - JJ you could have a decision, but as i see it you fold and wait for the next hand.

but prettty good chance of that compared to risk free shot at "winning" imo.

Fold, Late entry is shoving on the bubble for 20BBs, I think he has better than AJ here most of the time without knowing anything about him.

Just ran this in sngwiz and it is so massively read dependent based on ranges. The big stack open shoving range here is v important as ICM wise they can open shove a v wide range here profitably. Also sb's reaction and comptence is a big factor.

This really isn't a simple hand as people are making out, though I may be wrong in suggesting a call.

Longy did you adjust the payouts to a satellite structure?  It looks like a really really easy fold to me

In this spot if I am Late entry I am shoving almost with any 2 knowing that Floppy can only call me with a premium hand, if DSET calls then there is not a great deal of damage done to my stack.
