Lest say you were in the Sunday million and you were dealt KK in the BB everyone goes all in would you call?
You are at best a 29.3% favourite here.

Hmmm it's a close spot, if busting the tournament was not an issue, I would call but if it meant a lot to stay in, I would fold

No, I'd call with AA, but not KK

Different situation, but during last years APPT Seoul, pokerstars Pro Celina Lin, folded her KK preflop to a 5bet (I think it was the second hand of the tourney). She went on to finish 4th in the event for $46K.

I'd say if you worried about this sort of situation, you are paying too much to get into the tournament.

No I would probably not call because my odds would not be very good because someone will probably hit an Ace. If there were less people I would be more likely to call.
