It is interesting to see how much money is enough money to impact a decision like this. For me $50 is a lot of money when no money is invested. If this were a $1 tourney and the "money" meant $1.42 or soemthing that makes the decision pretty easy to get your chips in with the AA. For a sattelite to the WSOP for top 50 spots it is an easy fold (as all the top 50 pay the same and you have chips to wait out the short satacks).

If say it was $10000 for the money, as it is in the main event, there are some who would be too happy to get their chips in and there are others who just want that $10K and then they will take whatever chips they have after that and make thier shot.

Another analogy (not necessarily a good one):

Lottery ticket A - 99% chance of $50 + 40% chance at $1000
Lottery ticket B - 30% chance of getting nothing, 70% chance of $50 + 60% chance at $1000

Depends what you are playing for, $50+ or $1000. Personal choice.
