This was a "Double or Nothing" $5.50 SnG. Everyone starts off with 1000 chips and the top 5 places all get paid $10. Places 6-10 get nothing. They are good for a quick game and it is total madness once everyone has reached the money. Just like Play Money all over again. I have to fold here don't I?

Big Blind is t200 (6 handed)

UTG (t1550)
UTG+1 (t3225)
CO (t1650)
Button (t1235)
Hero (t1740)
BB (t600)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K , K .
UTG raises to t1550 (All-In), 1 fold, CO raises to t1650 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero folds

if the finishing position doesn't matter after ITM then I guess you can fold..

What site is this from? If all payouts are equal easy fold to get ITM.
It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

This is on Pacific Poker. I think they are a new format they have just introduced. I've never noticed them before anyway. They are quite interesting to play as the strategy is different to a normal format SnG. You still get people making big -EV calls around the bubble though, calling shoves with hands like QT and JT when there are short stacks around.

it that is the case then you should definitely fold as the likelyhood of two of these idiots knocking heads with each other is pretty good.

I would think in a format like this you play TAGG poker earlier and once you have a pretty big stack, play EVEN TIGHTER.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
