Re: TPTK Facing Shove & Call
(grunch) I certainly would be tempted to fold on flop. The first bet says I have, or can beat, top pair. The second bet states I am not concerned that you have top pair beat. One can have a set.
However, what would make me second-guess that decision is that it's early in a (relatively cheap) tournament, where reads are scarce and unreliable due to the sample size. People could easily make this move w/ a weaker K.
It comes down to how you want to play this tourney. If you don't mind going to the next tourney if you lose here, then call. If this is your only tournament for the day and you want to play longer, than folding here cannot be faulted.
Despite the doubts, I would still fold and take notes on the showdown. Big money with weak players can be reacquired, should either one of these raises are questionable.
