Horrible spot, do I have to call?

Made a good start to the tourney, more than doubled up in less than an hour and generally feeling invincible as you do.

A limp 3x raise and flat call. Make a solid 600 as OOP one folds, but then first raiser makes it a bizarre 960. In these comps not many people even understand what the raise button does so a 4bet certainly set off some alarm bells, i just flatted the 480 and was looking for a decent flop. Of course that's what I get but check to the raiser and see what he does to which he shoves.....

    call, what flop were you hoping to see after you call the guys 4-bet. its rarely going to have a Q on it, you basically called to catch this kind of flop. if he has AA or KK so be it, but i dont think he plays like this with kk/aa/jj as hes just losing tons of value (if he did, then wow), i think AK/AJ possibly suited hearts.

    what he said!
    i think you're ahead 9 times out of 10 in this spot plus you will still have plenty of chips left if you lose the hand

    call, i think a small % of the time its someone with a scared KK/AA not wanting to see anymore cards but a high % of the time you're gd
