Any way to fold?

edited December 2010 in The Poker Clinic
1st Post so bear with me. (Couldn't seem to copy the hand correctly)

Early stages of £1000 Bounty Hunter. This is the first hand I have played. Is there any fold here? Didn't think he would shove with AA, KK or even QQ. Had put him on a small pair. Should I be looking to race this early or is it just to shallow stacked to turn down? Pretty certain I had to call, but been going out of too many tourneys early recently!!!!!!!

Any comments/advice gratefully appreciated.

    I think, if he has got a small PP, you are still racing only with A high, but it is a BH, the problem is, if he does have a big PP, as he/She had, you are behind, I think I would have bet more than 3X the BB, I would have made it 250-300 and see what happened, that fact he came back OTT should maybe have set the alarm bells ringing, I would have folded tbh.
