$15 MTT on Paradise. There are 2 limpers for 30 to me in 5th position. I raise to 120 with AKo. Next player reraises allin for 1300. What should I do.

I'd probably fold this one, giving him credit for AA or KK, if you have no specific reads on this player.

I think b/c it is paradise you have to call. The blinds go up so ungodly fast, that you need to win hands like this to have any sort of comfortable stack late in the MTT.

Not paradise, I think its a +CEV call, so I'm calling this early on.

I called because of the buyin, figuring someone might be pushing with God knows what. Villain had AA. I thought afterwards that at low buyin people might push with AA figuring they were likely to be called.

I think this is an issue of blind structure more than anything else. Fast blinds, I call. Slow blinds, I fold.

Unless I feel that I don't have an edge against the field. Then I would call even with slow blinds.
