Fairly early in the tournament, So i have no reads... I was thinking maybe villain limped with AA or KK, But should this be a fold or call?

    Would be easier to read if you hadn't renamed every player pretty much the same thing lol, but yeah I think it's a fold. He's gonna have a pair a lottttt and there's no need to go flipping for 100+ BB right at the start of an MTT.

    The chips you win are worth less than the chips you lose. If you lose this hand, your EV in the comp drops to 0, if we double up, your EV in the comp won't even close to double.

    its good advice from Lambert there. It was a  weak hand to be rr shoving with on that occasion, more like the spin up tables I play. you made the right play, typical that they were both super weak that time ;) right play though thats what counts.
    good luck 
    You got further than me posting hand histories, i cant get them to come up!
