BB checks, Hero bets 125, MP1 raises all-in, Hero calls.
It was the 4th hand of the tournament. I'm pondering the idea of making these loose calls on Level 1 -- but not 2 or 3 with a lot of players still in -- to take advantage of the early game fish factor.
By making this play am I just effectively being a fish and swimming Logic River upstream right there with them? Or have I been losing money by folding in this situation on Level 1?
I think that the buy-in price is the biggest factor but I could just be on crack and in dire need of intervention and Jebus.

I'd call this in the 20s about every time. If he has a set, then well he got me. Its going to be a flush draw here most of the time IMO so call and hope he doesn't have Kxs for the 3 extra outs.
