Hello,
2 hours into an MTT, I was more confortable than usual, in the top half of the yellow zone. I was playing my big cards, raising and betting when I hit, and did not met a lot of resistance.
In the following hand, I raised 3BB UTG with KQo, planing on calling a potential allin from my shortstack neighbor.
But I wasn't planning on villain also shoving. I didn't know a lot about this player, only 30 hands played so far. No showdown.
I had a stack 3x his, so in this situation I usually call. But I'm frequently put in these situations in MTT and I often loose a (big) chunk of my stack and end up losing it all.
Is a call worth in your opinion is this situation ? Or should I be more conservative and fold ?
