3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises all-in t18134</font>

4 qualify to the main WSOP satellite, 11 left, i am in 7-8th place.I am not experienced in MTTs, is this an automatic call even though it's an overbet or can i fold and wait for better spot?
Sb seems a little bit active, but not donkish.

I know, i'd reraise allin w AQ here, but calling is something else.

1) you posted this in the wrong forum.

2) good call, sorry he had AK and you came in 11th.

If his range here is any pp, any A decent kicker, i still call this?

Bah, i guess i answered my own question

And there are antes+blinds in the pot already...so, i guess it's a correct call.

This time he had KK though

Gotta shove, even if you're nervous...you can't fold to a spot, and if you win this, you very well might.

I call way wider than AQ. Like I insta call kq here probably.

I think that you can wait for a better spot, Villian's M is low but its not to the point where is is pushing very marginal hands. I think his range is something like 66+, A7+, and KJ, QJ+. His range seems large but I am folding anyway, I just have a feeling he has a big hand.

lol

B/c he posted it, you now have a read that hes strong.

Folding here seems really bad, but my sat. strategy needs some tuning, but i still dont think u can fold here.

very very very very very very easy call.

villains range is huge

The reason I told him to fold was because I have been trying to trust my instinct more while playing poker, because often times I am right. Yeah his range is huge, I agree with you and I could see why you would call, I don't completly suck at poker. I would have folded because my gut told me to, and I would not have been out of the tourney because villian had KK.
