im full on ok with a call, its the bottom of my calling range. but their alot of literature out there that says its not worth it early on, and especially because i already have a big stack. so some say its a snap call, some say its fold. fwiw, i folded....and i try my hardest never to fold.

This is what I am having trouble with also, half say yes, other half say no on situations.

The way I look at these open shoves for like 45BB is this..

No way he is shoving AA or KK plus you have AK so even less likely. Don't think he is open shoving little pair since he may be able to set mine although it is marginal. That leaves mid pair up to maybe QQ another AK and maybe AQ. The only one I like is AQ but that's not a big %. To me it looks like a flip situation so do you feel lucky? Little equity in the pot and obviously no fold equity since op is the one pushing. If I think about it I can find a fold here.. Too tight Wetts? If I had raised first and then he pushed over the top I likely call especially given that I have the chips to do it..
Now most of the time I snap call but if I really have time to think about it, different game... Make some sense?

ya and the way you desribe the match up and which hands are more likely is just putting the % into words...and i do think he has aq in his range, basically its a coinflip, maybe just better maybe just worse, people seem to argue both ways...but i don't think we're really ever beating his range, we can hope to catch him with AJs or something....theres always some wacky hand once in awhile.....the underlying question is a deep stack early worth a neutral flip or even a slight underdog flip......

Reads? Call if he has AQ in his range. If he's sort of spazzy I tend to call @ these stakes.

9 hands in, we could opr but i think we know the answer to that, aq must be in his range, and spazzy too. I'm sure its +ev to call but we already have a deepish stack.....do we flip for more edge?

I tend to lean towards calling. In this hand, you close the action, and I doubt villain has AA, or KK as you have one of each. If you lose, you still have 100 BBs but if you win, you have close to $10k.

They say you have to win flips to win tournaments.
