    If this is a turbo or speed tourney then taking an early expected flip can be good. 

    If it's a slower tourney it's much better to play a hand

    Make a note that this guy shoved 50BBs over a minraise with KK lol

    This is an easy fold pre flop as the other 2 hand said.

    We have 40 chips invested from a 2000 stacks, i see no need to really go broke with less than QQ. Even AK is probably a fold for me in this spot. We dont need to gamble this deep. Lots of play left in this tournament. And if we're lucky the UTG raiser will call behind and we'll get to see what he had anyways.

    I think it hsa to be a fold unless you have adequate intel on the villain to suspect he's very light - & even then I'd probably still fold.

    against an over pair you're 4:1, Against overcards you're a flip & if he has undercards, - ... well, then He's a moron & just stay away from him anyway.

    IMO It is extremelly unlikely that you'll ever be in great shape with this call.

    Sometimes you just gotta lay 'em down.
