I usually play cash games, but I figured I'd try DoNs out...Is folding here correct? Does anyone just flat call or is shoving better?

Looks like a fold without looking unless co will raise range is huge and his call range is very small.

Edit: It's also a 1.10 so it's not likely. He has to be open 45/call 6 or 40/5

You will have plenty of spots later on. Rule of thumb in DoN, don't take risks with a bigstack without KK/AA. Plenty of spots where no one calls later on if you need chips.

This is an easy fold. There are 7 left and you are pretty much tied for 3rd. I say wait a little bit, and let the other shortstacks/people have at it themselves. If you find yourself chipping down there will be opportunities to chip up making steals and raises later in the SnG. I say fold.
