    In your oppinion, Should you be avoiding races early on in the tournament where you have 30 big blinds or more?

    For instance: Blinds are 25/50 and you have 3000 chips, and get 99 in late position. Someone from middle position goes all in for 3000. Is that an easy fold, or is there some consideration. ( you are at a table with unknowns and it's a new table, so you have no reads )

    But in general, is racing early on in a MTT bad in the long run?

    thanks.

    I'm more willing to gamble for a stack early on stars since their early structure sucks.

    Well you can never be certain you are racing so why take the risk when you could be crushed. I'd say this is an easy fold.
