AK Post: I'm posting this as new because I'm tired of it

[Nairb]

Barry your posts have helped me a lot and I do not mind the condescending overtones because I realize I have a lot to learn so please keep up the colorful responses. A serious question I am interested your opinion on with something that came up a couple nights ago in a $12 180 Turbo that seemed like an easy call but what would you do here:

1st hand of Tournament you are on the button with AKo, you have a push and two calls in front of you and as the first hand you have no reads at all, all opponents are unknowns. With 3 players all in you are getting a hair over 3-1 to call, is this ALWAYS a +ev call or is there any argument for folding.

I called and would the next 100 times confromted in this situation but caught some flack from some solid players I know that said they would have folded there this early in the tourney against 3 unknown players that pushed in front. My response was I only have to win this hand one out of three times to be even and any more than that would show a profit so it is a +ev move.

Your take?
