OK, so there is evidence that he is a donkey. 1) he did not rebuy at the start 2) he limped K5 UTG and stayed to the river with TPNK (top pair, no kicker) 3) it's a rebuy and most everybody is a little bit of donkey in a rebuy period 4) he's playing a lot of hands

this info reinforces my guesses. he stayed on some ridiculous starting cards and hit something better than your jacks.

Actually no he DID rebuy, sorry I didn't make that clear. He knocked out a shorty (like 900 or something) with the AQ hand.

Given those 2 hands (only ones he'd shown, we're barely into the tourney), do you call this? Yes? No? Why or why not?

This looks like a really easy fold to me with this dry of a board and he check raised all in with 3 people left to act. The only possible draw is 45. I don't think he makes this play with TT or anything else you beat.

Fold. What are you beating that confidently shoves against that many players?

Villain may be donking it up, but you're drawing to 2 odds a large amount of the time here. Fold.

Push pf and expect to be called as a 4-1 fav. As played, very easy flop fold, but I prefer to check and see what happens, probably calling unless a ep player bets or there's other action.

If you push 150 BBs, are you really getting called by a worse hand in the 55+R+A? I've never played it. Sounds fun.

I doubt you're getting called by much pushing this PF in this tournament, if it's a normal $22+R or something I would consider it.

If anyone's actually wondering, I tanked, and eventually called. Villain showed me AQ yuck. I posted as this is one of those rare times I actually called a massive overbet and was wrong on my read. I still don't see why he was pushing AQ, though.

Fold. If he happens to have exactly 45, good for him; you're not beating anything else.
