PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (8 handed) converter

Button (t11342)
SB (t38325)
Hero (t24866)
UTG (t35948)
UTG+1 (t58361)
MP1 (t81141)
MP2 (t32453)
CO (t24412)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t24262</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t21262.

CO is one of the all in or fold people. If I fold, I'll only have 7 bb left. Should I wait for a better spot?

Blind on blind. Should I just call? Raise less?

any reads??

hand 1 looks good

hand 2:SB only has ~1000 before posting and then min raises. that seems suspicious, but i prolly push just like you

CO is not terrible. Nothing on SB. Sorry.

[imported_leader]

hand 1: CO had everyone’s favorite hand when they have AT, AA. Shockingly, I didn't manage to pull it out.

Hand 2: SB had QQ

Mind if i throw 1 in? i usually get a hand like this very early in a tourny and always have doubts as to proceed with it or not....ur thoughts?
