    Without a read, Id probably fold as well. Youre really too deep to be thinking shove, and if you flat youll find yourself in a bloated pot against an unorthodox player. This could very well be anything from TT-AA with some other strange hands thrown in, and I think youre likely to find better spots where youll have more of an idea what the villains' betting behavior means.

    I personally 3 bet here. Sometimes my aggression gets me in trouble. Raising 5xs bb let's me know he just wants put with no contest. He has jj at best imo. You might take pot with 3 bet out worst case he calls then checks and u take pt with c bet

    There are players who make this with aces cause they scared to loose with them postflop. But this is such a small percentage of players.. It's not even deep in the tourney! There are so many morons at the early stages, dont know how u could just fold AKs there......... I 3bet to like 3k and no way my chips are not going in on any flop if he just calls. Id even slowplay that hand on a dry flop and check behind with the intention to snap call a turn shove or shove the turn.

    meh...what are his normal raise sizes? Have you seen him play certain hands in certain ways?

    Without knowing anything about player I probably shove here, it's still early, and by the look of the stack sizes it seems like the tourney has a fast structure so trying to cling on to your chips and making nit-folds is not the way to go.
