It's a tourney. You don't have "$", you have "t". "t" is no good w/o "a". Fold.

There's no need to push small edges this early in a tourney. Fold.

He can easily have 23s and have a live draw. Why risk it with such a big chip lead?

I don't know what you guys are thinking. Sure it's a tough decision, but I think I'm calling here. Maybe that's just cause I like to gamble.

I haven't run a calculation agaisnt a range of hands but my instinct tells me it's probably +ev to call. The thing is you can probably get your money in as a bigger favourite later on so for me it's a fold.

He managed to call your t90 raise with just t75. He's clearly rigging something. Fold.
