You can never call fold as you would of already commited 40% of your stack. I think given the size of the raise. (5XBB) I would lay this down.

i had almost layed it down but the raise was out of character and considered it was a bluff

you have no fold equity so I sigh fold and wait for a better spot w/ 12bb in a no ante tournament. Obv it's either shove or fold, calling would be beyond horrendous..

depends on villain tho, the fact player in the bb has a huge stack makes me more inclined to think he's pretty strong, and so a fold is best, if bb is short also I just shove cos KQss owns his range prob

Pretty easy  fold here smarr, he has 5x'd, yes KQ suited is a pretty hand etc but as percy says you have no FE

If you had some reads on the player it may help to share as this looks a snap fold

smarr

no reads mate as i havent seen any of the hands but he has been raising alot pre and taking down the blinds.. usually 3x tho, i mis-read his rise in bet sizing as a bluff rather than the strength it was. Thanks for your input, i guess i knew fold was the correct option. 

rancid

never raising like this with KJ

in general it's AK/AQ or 10's etc...

im folding this pre the guy who 5 x pre is never folding to your shove imo u are never in good shape wen u shove over a 5 x raise 

i would like to be the 1 that puts preesure on people by raising not going all in over the top after a raise at best i think u are flipping at best with 5 x raise pre looks like the hand he has or middle pair

Yeah FWIW I'd look to fold this... villain only has 12bb (?) so looks really suspicious when they don't just shove themselves, ie they have a good hand and hope to induce a poor call from SB and/or BB rather than just shove and take down the blinds.

Depending on any reads, I'd be more inclined to go with the KQ hand if the button had shoved... although depending on how much I fancied a gamble to try and run for the higher prizes, as I accept that Ax and small pairs make up a decent number of hands and therefore require me to hit.

yeah I fold m8 no fold equity and nearly always when these players 5xbb pre in mtts its ak/aq they are scared to play flop incase they miss so they make it big to take it there and then (which imo is bad) but we all play different.

The guy has 13bbss on the button we have 12 bbs get it in super standard mtt spot to 3 bet jam here.

villain has 19bb

if he hasnt opened 5x before and then suddenly does it this time w/ a big stack in the bb it's nearly always going to have us crushed. Easily wait for a better unopened spot, or a spot where we have fold equity.

bearlyther

Yes misscalculated the stack sizes as they were hard to read its a fold.
