Am I supposed to call?

I'd fold , normally someone who goes all in this early in the tourny have it , mostly AA AK KK,QQ especially in micro tournys it's rarer in the bigger tournys because the better players realize the value with premium hands

Hi @Spike4000

Fold for me also. Too many big blinds to be calling an all-in like this here IMO. Can occasionally be flipping, but more often that not we're going to be dominated like @stokefc said above. AK in particular is a hand people like to shove large amounts with in the micro games and you'll always get a few people who will shove AA/KK/QQ pre for any amount.

We also don't cover the villain for a bounty (assuming it's a bounty hunter?) so that should dissuade us even more from going with our AQ here.

Definitely worth making notes on what hands people are shoving with and for what amounts in these micro games, if someone does end up calling their all in.

easy fold this early. I could even fold AK sometimes, why get in marginal spots with fish

I think that there are 4 main hands that shove this big, this early. Not AA/KK unless it is a freeroll. People tend to get creative with AA/KK. It is the hands that are more difficult to play post-flop.

Those 4 hands are:-AK,QQ, JJ and Any 2 Cards.

You are marginally ahead on 1, flipping on another, and dominated by 2. It is an easy fold.

Unless you don't like money.

What do you do?
