fold imo, your either way behind or tossing at best and its too early to take that big a chance.

I would hate it, but I would fold and wait for a better spot

The first replier said you're around 55% here in average circumstances and I agree. But I don't agree to gamble with those odds if you're a skilled player and the blind levels are lenient like at FT.

If I somehow knew I had 55% equity here I would call in a flash whatever structure it was, and that's what I did anyway.

are we not good enough to pass up 55% edges early in the tournament?

I would argue that noone is, especially with only 14BBs.

Edit: And super especially not getting 2400:1900 odds.

Strongly in favour of this, and thus the call.
