i'm not reading all of your GF's reply b/c it's late and i'm not in the mood to read that much. i think i caught the basic gist though (cheap, implied odds, blah blah).

while i'm not disputing any of that, if you're going to make that argument for calling with A3o in early position, you could make the same argument to call with any two cards at that blind level, right? unless you are an EXPERT player capable of making great reads and letting go of tricky hands, that logic is going to lead you to spew a lot of chips early in the tournament while waiting for the perfect flop against an opponent with the perfect second-best hand.

the only valid reason that you (the BF) were wrong for folding was because it was HER tournament and she told you to call. was being right to fold (which you were) worth all this hassle? clearly the answer is: NO.

good night.
