You may be right in thinking that folding is a better way to safely make it into the money; but blinds are rising fast and nothing is guaranteed. In a SNG, where ITM% is huge, I can see folding this being more profitable (though I don't play 1-table SNGs). In a MTT/180-SNG, though, where most of the payout is in 1-3rd, I really don't need the 2x buy-in back bad enough to miss the shove-over in this spot.
If I could be guaranteed a 60% favorite hand, sure, fold and wait for it... but in these turbos I find myself getting it in behind a lot, simply because the blinds force me to try to make something happen, even if I sometimes get myself in as a 30/70 dog.
