Hi players!

I played this hand and faced a shove.
I decided to fold this hand because i believe im flipping vs all his pairs except AA-KK. Also we are very deep still and the tournament has just been started a few hands. I should have a edge in this field and can get into better spots to gain chips and dont have to risk my Tournament life here.
Villain did not spazz out before and i dont have history with him.

Im wondering what other players think of this hand and what they would decide here?
Also, if we where facing a maniac who jammed a lot of trash, would we still call a shove this deep in this stage knowing we have a edge in the tournament? Stacksizes the same.

FFS stick it in...yeah there are times when we should fold, only when the dynamics are correct, but it is edges that we exploit that warrant this to be a call so that we double our stack and exploit the rest of the field later in the tourney.

AK is definetly good for it here. In something like this 50c stuff, we can expect him to shove way too wide.

Some randoms in these will look down at A3s and not know what to do and just shove all in. If he was playing a "reasonable"/nitty range here it might be a close fold, but theres more than enough spaz at these stakes to make it a clear call.

I need a crazy big reason to fold AK pre in a spot like this. So rarely gonna be -ev. So regularly gonna be huuuuuugggggely +ev. Get. That. Money. In. The. Middle.

Interesting to see the opinions are still different here!
But it seems like the most reactions dictate to still stack off with AK here
in a 90's turbo SnG for low buy inn.

So when we stack off in a low buy inn SnG with AK when we just played <5 hands.
Is there any tournament where we dont do this? I think of big MTT's?

Thanks for the replies !

call readless. fold vs a 7/4 nit.

even if you have a edge its a turbo so you cant be folding flip hands. You might even have him dead to 3 outs
