Pokerroom 22, it's like the 5th hand so no reads.

I've been doing this a lot recently, in the sense of avoiding potential coin flips early. I figure that the best hand I can reasonably hope for is a middle pair, because I don't think AQ or AJ makes this move without being a donk. So am I right to lay this down?

Seat 1: BPMoney1 ($1,580 in chips)
Seat 2: DaveKRoberts ($1,275 in chips)
Seat 3: livaja ($1,485 in chips)
Seat 4: Xenod [KS,AC] ($1,440 in chips)
Seat 5: p155dup ($2,720 in chips)
Seat 6: gabe0287 x ($1,475 in chips)
Seat 8: Alviso ($1,970 in chips)
Seat 9: 4jett ($1,370 in chips)
Seat 10: Loneaces ($1,685 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
Alviso posts blind ($15), 4jett posts blind ($30).

no

i dont think calling with is normally a good plan - especially early in a tournament

I'd want AA or KK.
