    Had been at the table for less than one orbit so only have a few hands on villains....

    PF raise more, just UL so many callers. Is his huge 3b more of a flush draw type hand?? I was confused all over but I think i should have checked the flop and called any bets then led the turn depending on what comes.

    All thoughts are greatly appreciated

    I think I might go down with the ship here, you have the gutter and runner clubs for if you are not ahead...sticky spot for sure...the raise looks quite large so that may have led me to believe it could be a flush draw, but like you said you had only been there for an orbit or so, tough to put him on a specific range so early...i have also seen many times weaker players going broke with any over pair here regardless of the texture of that board...

    I wouldn't fold in this mtt. The crazy euros show up with all kinds of stuff in this mtt and worse pocket pairs a lot

    This. I'm never folding AA here in this tourney....a lot of the times, the guy has a flush draw, or like lab said, an overpair to the board....having played this tourney many times, I wouldn't even be surprised if he shows up with 44 here

    Ok great advice thanks a lot.

    Are there any tourneys around this BI that you WOULD fold in this spot? Kind of a stupid question but what makes this tournament a call compared to another. FWIW i've only played 10^3 like...twice. I guess I felt I could wait for a better spot but I know in the back of my head it was a ship. THX for the responses

    fwiw i proly dont fold in any mtt u have the AA and his sizing doesnt rly scream set/strait way more heavily weighted towards weak overpairs and flushdraws imo

    In low buy-in mtts like this, you see peeps stack off all the time with 66+. I'm not real excited to get it in here, but you'll see 10/10 or JJ like hands often enough to make this call profitable.
