I might fold here if I have got the read that both guys are really tight. But on the other hand it is a 5.5$ tourney, so you might see some funny hands here.

I personally prefer a shove because its AK and if you win youve got a nice stack to work with. But I don't think folding is a bad mistake here.

Pushing might be a mistake but regarding the fast structures of these low online MTTs and the bad opponents I would take a shot on a decent stack here.

You know, this early, it depends on my mood. A limp/push could be anything here in a $5. It seems like, however, every time I call this, it's my AK and re-raiser's AK vs UTG's small pair and our days are numbered.

Meh...either way, but I think the "right" answer is fold considering the action.

[jchauvin]

i definitely call this.

[BarryLyndon]

uggggh. I think I call this, but I see your reason(s) for folding. I mean, I guess if someone wants to do the math so the three or four times a year we see this happen, you would calculate how many times you see JJ/QQ here, how many times you see AQ/QQ here, and offset that against how many times you see KK/QQ here, or KK/AK, or AK/AA, my head hurts. Honestly, I don't think it makes that much...[censored]...it's a $5, call. That's really what it comes down to. You have the BR, ham, and it's a $5. That's it. If it's a $10+, it's a fold.

That was terrible, sorry.

as usual i like calling since the range we see is so wide and the value of having a big stack is worth it to me...starting to hate drifting through these thngs for hours barely staying ahead of the blind and antes
