I trusted the dynamics of the images based on prior history and voted call. Hero is tight and I’ll assume passive, perhaps prompting the v to make this move. Hero raised knowing agg v may make 3-bet. Need to follow through here with an A in your hand getting ~3-2 vs a wide range.

Surely this is a fold? Firstly, are behind to so many hands, I’d say the majority of his range here. At best (if he’s ATC here) then we’re a 60/40. Do we really need to get involved with a pretty piss-poor hand now? This seems to be a fairly easy fold.

I think this is a marginal call, but at this stage of the tourney we’re likely to see a bunch of marginal situations and can’t just fold them all. I think V’s range is wide open and given H’s tight/passive image could be ATC.
If we fold here, we can expect that every bet we make from now on will face an aggressive re-raise since we’ve signaled we’ll fold to pressure. With M=6, H will need to find a hand to play very soon.

He’s agressive + first BvB confrontation + we both have less then 20 BBs but more than 10 BBs left + if we call and loose we’re eliminated + we’re both under the average stack + we’re ITM = He’s shoving a pretty wide range here.
His range might look like any Ax, most Kxs, K8o+, any broadway, any pair, most suited connectors and suited one gappers and 10-15% of the time simply ATC. We need 40% equity to win but we’re actually flipping against that range. We have to double up soon – this is a +EV spot to take a chance and build a stack. Call.
