    btw, there is no right or wrong answer to this one...i would personally call though. I play to win and I can't fold q's k's or aces preflop. I feel that in the long run I'm going to win most of the time not folding those premium hands. The bigstack obviously didn't want you in that hand and I'd put him on 10's or something of that sort.

    Man I feel your anguish here. I think there is a good chance you are best right now but not sure the risk is worth the reward. There are more hands that you are either behind or racing with than hands that you are solidly ahead of here. In the light of day I would fold but in the heat of battle sometimes my gut would tell me to call. I think on balance you should fold but im curious what you did.

    I'll add my support to the folders.

    If I had to guess Weapon X had 99, 1010 or JJ and blazin probably had AK.

    If it was just Weapon X in the hand, then it's a trivially easy call IMO, but do you want to risk your tournament life against the CL with a non-dominating hand

    If you felt you were a better player than these guys I would fold and wait for a better spot, however if you felt you were getting outplayed, then call and hope to win the (probable) race.
