Default What would be your move?

I was BB in a $140 buy-in stt. This was only the second hand. The tourney starts with 50-100 blinds and chips start at 1500. Everyone was even stacked except for blinds and 1 guy in middle. utg+1 raises 4x BB everyone folds to CO who pushes all-in. Button and SB fold to me. I look down and see 10h10d. What would be your move?

Fold, and it's not close. With any kind of reasonable opponents, TT is not a good hand here.

If you think about the blinds and the chip stacks, Do you think the people would be playing a little looser from the beginning, knowing they already are a little short stacked? What would be the possible hands im up against in this situation?

I thought the utg+1 was possibly ak,aq,jj,qq. CO was more than likely ak or qq. I did find out what i was up against after i folded.

Up against sane players, you are, at the very least, looking at a race here.

Howeverm, with such a goofy blind stucture, you might very well be up against anything, because it looks like everyone will be gambling in the next level anyway.

Where did you play this?

Fold. And what an awful structure. With people who aren't complete morons, you'd be better off finding someone to take prop bets on a flipped coin.

If the blinds were 5/10 it is a fold..

But original poster says blinds were 50/100 with chipstacks at 1500... That puts everyone's M at 10, and it will soon be closer to 5 or 4. I think perhaps this was a mistype, but if this was indeed the case, I would call. Only 1 in 17 hands is a ppair. you've likely got AKo and AQs out against, and that looks pretty good to me:

cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
Td Th 585730 42.73 779779 56.89 5245 0.38 0.429
As Kd 439802 32.08 911591 66.50 19361 1.41 0.327
Ah Qh 325861 23.77 1025532 74.82 19361 1.41 0.244

Again, if the SB + BB were not 10% of everyone's stack, you would fold.
