A good fold early on, I hate coin tosses in tourneys which you are here at best, A call is unprofitable because an over to a 6 will hit almost every flop. Thats all assuming your not up against a hand like JJ which I think is probable here. Also, when you post try to give some more details, stack size is extremely important in a tourney! Also table dynamics, are you with maniacs here?

Unless your stacks are very deep (>2000) this is an easy fold - the chances of a re-raise by the initial raiser are just too high to make a speculative call like this

thanks for the quick answers...
just for future reference my stack is at 1530
guy who raised to 70 had 1010 reraiser had 1185

You had an M of about 35 or so, were out of position and up against two raisers. Looks like a clear fold to me, especially since you have no idea if the original raiser is going to raise again. Quite frankly, if I'm sitting in your seat, I could not make an honest guess as to how much this hand might cost me to play. Not worth it, you did well to get out with a minimal loss.

yeah, you can only call here if it closes the action and you approaching it with a hit or fold mentality. Calling would be sacrificing a small percentage of your chips for the opportunity to snap off a monster and absorb a stack.
