    What about ICM and How many players left etc.

    It's really borderline, because your stack is big enough to find surer spots. You are probably up against another big ace and a big pair, so your equity is probably around 30% and your getting just around 2:1.

    Still, I have a hard time folding here.

    with no other reads I think I'm folding here. still so much room to maneuver with your stack in a really soft tournament

    Fold. You are gonna have to win a flip sooner or later though.

    Looks like someone has to have a monster like AA or KK in that spot to me. AK looks good, but I would fold. I don't think B1zN1z would call off all his chips with something other then QQ-AA.. possibly AQ but I doubt it. 4 raises in front of him.

    hmmm def need some sort of reads to make this laydown but if 4better is fairly tight I don't mind mucking it... either way you'll get to see what he bombed with and use it for future spots.

    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 315,525 Main pot 204,645. Side pot 110,880. | Rake 0
    Board: [7s 6c Jh 5s 2s]
    Seat 1: B1zN1z (big blind) showed [Ah Ac] and won (204,645) with a pair of Aces
    Seat 2: MagicOcean folded before the Flop
    Seat 3: pavlis 3 folded before the Flop

    Seat 5: TheProphecy3 showed [Kd Ad] and lost with Ace King high
    Seat 6: stuie6 folded before the Flop

    Seat 9: MASHospital (small blind) showed [Qc Qs] and won (110,880) with a pair of Queens

    I looked at the hand for a while and still think I would call given this situation again. I did not really have any history going into the hand, all I can say is I had a fairly loose image at the table.
