yes, w/ 3 players all in AJoff is not good enough for me

I would only call all-ins with AJo if very short stacked. Your calling range seems pretty spot on.

I would maybe call if ‘Guilh19’ was the only all in player being short stacked he’s still at 16bb would be much more incline to call if the all in player was in a later position.

I thought your analysis is pretty good. There is no reason to risk your stack at this stage.

On a 2.50$ MTT early stages players tend to play very loose, and when a bounty is on the line then they go crazy.
So if you are willing to go for it 99+ (maybe 88+) and AQs is the calling range.
But in a serious non bounty MTT my range would be AKs/KK/AA and maybe QQ(depending on the stacks).

Stack sizes would be nice.

Cold calling with a raise + 2 calls in front is not ideal with AJo, as it does not play very well multiway. If the opener is tight I'm folding, if not, this is a good spot to 3B.

I do not like AJo's call at this level of the tournament, not even the villain's raise, much less allin. I prefer to adopt the raise or fold line in these levels with the top of the range (JJ +, AQo +) and in position some call with median pairs by set value.

Folding AJo all day to this much action and Im not sure calling AJo with this much action is wise. This might be a better fold pf and find a better spot.

AJo is typically not a great preflop all-in. Virtually, you dont want to risk all your chips on anyhand, especially so early in the tournament, except QQs to AAs. But even following those guidelines be prepared to take some losses. See if you fold you have a %100 chance of keeping your chips. Lets say you have AA. You still have about a %20 of losing everything even tho you are a favorite to win. So defintely, I throw that AJ awya
