    only info i can give is that AEKK had mini raised the previous hand and smillah_time had moved all in on him and he folded so he might be a little impatient and frustrated. smillah has been playing pretty aggressive with her big stack but seems to actually be a descent player for a micro toureny. what do you do here? easy call? easy fold? ehhhhh?

    Honestly I would have snapped him off IMO it could be a over call with AJ-AK but with AK I think that smillah would have re shoved giving some protection to try and get it heads up. But i think with the over call from her she most likely has a medium to small pair. What was the outcome of the hand?

    Considering your stack size first and foremost (~10 BB, less actually w/ antes every hand) and that players are in general absolutely horrid I think you have to call... I'm not crazy about it, but it's one of those close your eyes and push situations. If you win the hand you're in great shape to take down the tourney.

    Good Point! That was another factor that I didnt include in my post. Defintly With your stack size it would put you in a good position to win the tourney if you won.

    If AEK is a decent player, he should be pushing a wide range of hands. If he's bad, then he could be pushing a wide range of hands too. I would need a hell of a good read here to fold.

    You have about 5 table rotations here with your stack. I really don't see how you can't figure your way ahead of his range here, and snap call. If he flips over a better hand, or it's a flip and you lose, so be it. These are the hands that you win if your going to win a tournament.
