Just to confirm, early on in a tourney this is an easy fold right?

Any info on opponents? To me it's easy call actually. BB is not strong with his donk bet and UTG could be reshoving wide in this situation.

no info on villain.... I call.
Very thin board and he could be chasing draws.

As I say, early on so not much info. My thoughts were as follows;

UTG limps, then calls a reraise, then shoves on flop after another raise. I didn't think calling off my whole stack on an overpair would be a great play early on, given that this flop is ideal for an early limpers range.

Whilst we're on this subject, what could his range be? I've been trying to improve my range analysis but would appreciate someone a little more experienced than myself to provide some thought.

Personally I'm not prepared to take this risk. I hate showing my cards at the best of times, so calling after a donk and a shove is not my style. You could call it the art of fighting without fighting. Wise words Bruce.

Never folding this readless against two fun players no matter what stakes you're playing...

I think folding here WITHOUT history is too tight.
I don't see that massive jam being a set very often at all.
WHen people flop sets, they like to savour the moment, draw out the experience of having "the nuts". I also don't think it's AA-QQ, as why would they limp instead of raise, overcall the ISO rather than backraise, then go against all of the "slow" play before and massive overjam flop? Doesn't make any sense to me as a sequence. I think it's a draw or A9/K9 most of the time.
