Final Pot: t75

hmm converter is bugging out
This is a 30
I raise 3x bb, he pushes.

I go into the tank and fold but now i dislike it.
Mine smells like a steal
folded to small blind + big stack =looks like steal
do people play aces/kings that way?

Good fold?

I think this is very read dependent. Both a read on how he plays and what your table image at this certain tournament is.

I vote good fold.

I think at this stage in the tourney, AQ is good to push with, but not so good to call a push with.

I'd call this. Hero has 700 "extra" chips. He has the perfect opportunity to use them to bust someone. If hero wins he is in command. If he loses he is still in good shape. He only needs to win 45% of the time to breakeven. I think he has that.
