ft bubble, seems like an easy call but with the action had to think aa was out there, but with my stack i felt i had to call because it didn't really affect my stack that much.
plus these could have been standard 8-10 bb shoves.
considered folding here, but in the end i couldn't.
can anyone find a fold here? or is that way too nitty?

Instant shove! you're risking ~15% of your stack to increase it by ~43%!

WAAAAY too nitty to fold here. if you run into aces then meh cooler
you have like 60% of the chips in play, and a chance to bust 2 players, and if you lose you will still have nearly double the second place.
i would be calling with a whole lot worse than KK here just for the opportunity to bust one or both of those players.
with that stack i'd never fold against those smallstacks.
it would be different if the 4b would have come from thereals2d and his 29BB, but maybe i would also call him if he is not a nit.

The only stack that can hurt you folded, rip it off and go into the FT in great shape for taking it down!
thanks for responses guys, i knew it would be a bad fold if i did, but it seemed to me that aa was there because the 2 players to my right had not been very active and they were insta shoves.
but with it only 8bb's to call it was pretty easy to do. i think if it was more to the tune of 25bb+ to call with same action i would have folded.don't know if that's right but, my thought is if i think i'm beat why put chips in.

this is very true, but i guess the whole point in getting better (why we are all here) is to hone our skills in being able to tell when we are beat.
“when we are beat” is a very loose term though, there are many times were we have less than 50% equity but it is correct to call because of the pot odds.
I'm licking my lips and frantically tapping my table ninja 'all in' hotkey before it even gets back around to me!
100% call, very result orientated post. Sorry for being so blunt.
