Default Preflop $6.50 Stars 4th Level Decision

Person on the button seemed like he was very loose and put him on a range of hands like Kx, Ax as he was pushing a lot and the raise was on the button. What should my decision be in this scenario?


PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1790)
UTG+1 (t1590)
MP1 (t1495)
MP2 (t1845)
CO (t1470)
Button (t945)
SB (t1185)
Hero (t3180)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero folds as quick as possible and should probably try an ICM software.

FOLD, at best you are coinflip... To call open shove of 9.5 BB's with at best 50% equity when you are chipleader against a loose cannon in the early levels is just not a risk you need to be taking. I know some people say you can't pass up these edges early, but you have at least 2x the chips of everyone else and have position on loose player. Pick a better spot and move on.

I go JJ+ and AK for a standard player, and if i have a STRONG read that my opponent knows ICM and is pushing wide (any K, any Q, any broadway, etc.), i might include AQ and TT. But really you should be calling very tight here.

It is still premium hands at this point. Way to early to start flipping coins.

Alright thanks for the input. Well the result is obvious if I am posting on here. I called the guy has AQ he flops two Q's and I lose the hand. But at least I got third and I saved money by switching my insurance to Geico ;-)! Thanks 2+2 Community.
