you only have 10x bb before the start and with tht bet you fall down to 9x. I would instacall . What range you put him on? He probably trying to be smart and say dont take his blind. What hands have he showed before?

You definitely should call his bet. I would push it preflop.

Seems like it got messed up when posted.

I push preflop btw and I definately call this one expecting to see a BIG range of cards here. Imagine if you where BB, would you think this was a steal attempt?

I thought it was a definite all-in as well. Of course, I went all in and he had QQ -- so that was the end of my tourney. In retrospect, I probably should have pushed harder pre-flop -- but with him having QQ, I probably would have been screwed either way.
