No reads so early in the tournament. Should I really be calling the all-in here this early in the tournie? Do you guys think I'm ahead more often than not?
Poker Stars $3.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 9 players

UTG+2: t1890
MP1: t1560
MP2: t1410
Hero (CO): t1470
BTN: t1640
SB: t1480
BB: t1500
UTG: t1590
UTG+1: t960

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is CO with A

UTG calls t20, UTG+1 calls t20, 2 folds, MP2 calls t20, Hero raises to t80, 4 folds, UTG+1 calls t60, MP2 calls t60

Flop: (t290) K

(3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets t40, Hero raises to t150, UTG+1 raises to t880 all in, MP2 folds, Hero??

I insta call here, if he has two pair then good for him. A set is too rare for us to be scared away. Too often you will see a weaker king or perhaps the flush draw.

Raise more on the flop. The point of raising is to price out draws and get value out of good hands. Taking UTG+1 out of the picture MP2 only has to pay t110 to win t480 after your raise and that's way too cheap.

Never fold to UTG+1 in a 3.40 unless you know him. These guys will 4betAI with far worse than TPTK.

Also even though you don't have a read, it looks to me like the guy allready took a decent hit to his stack, so may be tilting.

I'd raise more preflop, flop, and call the shove
