Default Re: 10 + 1 late stages - AQ folded pre-flop.. .thoughts?

Not a bad fold, AQ is a hand you would much rather come in with a raise than call a big bet preflop. You are also only getting 1.5:1 odds and with people left to act behind you something could go wrong. I think this is one of those hands where I would like to know how big stacked you are in comparison with the rest of the tournament. I would definitely call here if I was among the chip leaders since you can lose this hand and still be decently chipped relative to both the blinds and the other players at the table.

I really don't give too much credence to the villain being UTG since this is an 11 dollar buy in and people play like chumps 90% of the time and since you are readless I'd just assume hes a donk.

I dunno, I the more I think about it the more I think this is a call. Perhaps one of those "inflection point" decisions. I would be more inclined to fold this if I had about 14-18xBB but since you are at 20+ I think you can call here, get more chips and use them to pound the table or you can lose this pot and grind it out like you we're planning on doing.

Anyways, marginal decision but I call.
