Should I have folded?

Very difficult to get away from this when it's blind on blind. I would love to know your thoughts.

Yes, I'm folding personally, without knowing anything about the player or table dynamics.

He's effectively open-shoved for nearly 50BBs, which should never be a thing. Has villain done this previously or was this the first time you had seen them do it? Maybe villain always does this with AK?

Also, assuming it's a bounty hunter, we don't cover the opponent for the bounty anyway.

Blind v blind isn't really relevant here given the size of the opponents shove.

Important to make notes on the opponents who make big open-shoves like this and with what hands they do it with.

I think @Asho28 hits this on the head pretty hard.

There is some villians I will be snapping this off, and those villians are ones where we see this kind of shove extremely consistently or we have good notes on this kind of thing they are doing this with. 50bb calling off our tournament generally should be a fairly tight range. AQo definately can be apart of this, but I'd need some good reads. Without them I'd be calling this extremely tight probably overfolding until given information otherwise and waiting for a better spot. I'd also instantly note this and give the villian a colour so I can monitor it to get those notes for future reference if this is the first time seeing this.

The other exception is if the villian had lost a major hand directly hand before and there was a chance of some tilt.

Tournament life is a big thing and undervalued. Defending your bb to a shove if this size from someone who you don’t give alot if info about means we are guessing to a certain extent. We only have Ace hi it’s not suited and we don’t cover opponent which means we don’t hit and we are gone. Holding an ace means we only flop an ace about 30 % of the time and if villain has ace chance of flopping is 12% so we could be in very rough shape here. Does he do this with Aj off if so then call but remember that these chips are needed when in twenty minutes time you have kk vs tt or similar situations. Tight is right early doors in these tournaments. Good luck
