    hmm thats tough. Imo with a bigger raise, he is representing AK or even QQ. Since you have position on him, i would actually call here, and see what he does after the flop and then you'll determine whether your hand is good enough or not, based on previous bets and reads and etc lol.

    edit: of course the safe way out is to fold as this tournament is in the early stages and just wait to make a significant gain on some other hand.

    Just play it the same way as the average low stakes donk would...ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL IN...you have AK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOTED...the absolute super nuts! lol

    Realistically, I think I'd lean towards calling and seeing how your opponent acts after the flop. You could always fold and wait to get involved in a big pot at a later time.

    Hey, what did you end up doing? I forgot what i had that hand but I can assure you I'm not doing that with AQ so you're flipping at best. Your raise says to me I like my hand and am not going to fold to a big raise so I probably had AA or KK QQ or AK. I don't like calling as your not going to get any more chips from me if A or K comes and I had qq or something.

    I folded. I thought for sure at worst you had ak, and prob had qq, kk, aa. I dont even think you would do that with JJ so early in the tourney. so I gave you exactly what you said. I folded cuase I was oop and there was still another player to act after. That player actually smooth called and I remember the flop being K high and you making a c-bet winning that pot. thx for the response

    At 10-20 blinds, the way the hand was played, I fold this 100 pct. AK is a big hand when the blinds go up......early with this much action it's garbage to that kind of raise.
