Live €540, I keep thinking people are making moves!

I won a freeroll to a €540 77 runner tourney in Slovenia. Its a double chance with 3.5k starting chips but I took the "second chance" right at the start so I had 7k. I am the youngest player at the table and so far have shown weakness when my 8s got 3 bet and I limped with 44 and called a miniraise to setmine to no avail. Other than that there have been no showdowns and I haven't picked up any particular reads.

I have ATo on the button playing 7.2k blinds 50/100. It folds to MP3 (playing 5.2k) who has been tight ABC and is a mid-30s Italian dude who limps. CO limps behind and I make it 550. MP3 then throws out 4x1k chips making it 4100 total. CO folds. Is standard line to fold here? Whats MP3s range?

WP on getting to the tourney. Although I've never played that high a stakes here's my two pennies worth of advice.

Fold, 100%, yes he might be making a move, but the blinds aren't that big yet you need to take the chance that he isn't. Even if he is making a move you are unlikley to be much more than 65-35 ahead.

Wait for a better spot and hope he f*cks around putting 40*BB in the pot pre-flop later on when you have a real hand.

They do that with AA and KK a lot online, but I don't know about those people.

Yeah, fold for sure. I've seen people do this live with QQ, AK, as well as the usual stuff. Even if it's a donk move with 66, you are still behind. You are deep, you have a mediocre hand - why CALL for 70% of your stack?

Yeah good points and what I expected. Anyway for some reason I put him on the range i'd put myself on which would be 22-88 and maybe hands like KJ, KQ and some suited aces. So I figured to be good. Anyway, he had QQ and I was down to 2k.

I made my way back up though and ended up bubbling in 10th having mucked for a side pot (what a [censored] I am) which would have been somewhat helpful. Nevermind, freerollin' is all good anyway!
