    bosmark wasseemed pretty active...i dunno about papdel. This is real early, but i just want to learn what I'm supposed to do here. Are the stacks deep enough to call 1500 just to hit the set, or am i supposed to be raising? I moved in and got called by the flat caller preflop who had kk. I'm thinking i shouldve just called and hoped to hit the set. Is that right? and is moving in a terrible play here?

    Calling 1,500 here to set-mine seems OK to me here with only the BB to act behind you; the implied odds - esp with 2 others in the pot, are fine.. Shoving seems excessive, although the table dynamics are ok for it, it just seems like too much - 19,000 into a 4,500 pot. Just my 2c

    Fold pre (as in before the tournament begins).

    going from 19000 to 17000 hardly affects how your stack plays in the tournament. theres no reason to risk your entire tourney here with one low pair. shoving is essentially a bluff because if you get a call youre most likely crushed or 50/50 at best.
    this definitely most certainly counts as spew

    Call and shove both seem fine depending on info on villains and their perceived image of you.
