You might fold here because there was a raise and then your reraise, so for someone to come over the top, that has to mean considerable strength.

I'm still usually calling here. This guy having AJ or something like that is just as likely (well more so, based purely on card distribution) as AA or KK. There was a similar thread a couple days ago. Given the range of pushing hands at the $11s (any PP, a lot of aces, KQ, KJ, etc), I'm calling here. Any read at all?

I think calling is the right play, even though I dislike coinflips this early in tournements. There is a chance you completely dominate his AQ/AJ, but likely are facing AK or a smaller pocket pair.

The 225 chips already in the pot before your opponent goes all in is what tips the balance to call. If he acted before you and went all in, I fold this hand most of the time in level 1.

Without any specific info on the player I think its a call. 1.75:1 is an awful lot to pass up v. the range of hands this raise happens with.
