Similar to davidross's post about risking early in the tourney.
This is from the same 200 NL tourney, a bit later.
I wish I were first to act, because I would've pushed and not have to even consider folding.
As it is, I did fold and I believe I made a mistake, particularly because my stack was barely 5x BB. But let's assume you were chip leader. Would you still call?
And, let's say you knew SB and BB after you would call MP1's all-in (which is what happened). With tremendous pot odds of 15BB, you're absolutely calling with QQ, right?
