Easy fold, even if you are a coinflip why risk your stack on the first level. You likely have no read and i would fold anything but aa kk and maybe ak qq if i was feeling lucky. You just never no with this kinda donk move this early and its better to make a stand later with more information. Fold Fold Fold.

Probably a coin flip going up against AK or AQ. Something like that. Only 80 invested, early in a tournament (looks like 2nd or 3rd hand dealt)...easy fold.

Easy fold. Any paint or Ace that pairs has you beat.

At these stakes without any prior knowledge of the player putting the raise in, this could literally be any two cards! Its an easy fold but should have you paying very close attention to that particular player for the rest of the tournament

fold, that early in a tournament like that, give your opponent credit for a hand and move on, the only way i would call that is if the guy was pushing all in every other hand

Folding is the right play as u can fold and still have plently chips left (about 71BB) at if u call ur probably up against AK AQ and ur only a slight favourite.

Fold.. dont risk your stack first hand.. the best you have is 60/40

There will come better spots to get your chips in

Playing in a short handed game ( 6 handed ), an all in call here isn't a bad idea........ if your playing in a live cash game. A majority of these low level buy in events, players are more inclined to gain an early chip lead. If you see it fit to follow this trend, then so be it, shove it in and hope for the best. On the other hand, if your intentions are to play smart and advance to later rounds of play, the smart move is to fold and pick a better spot to make a move.
