put him on some kind of 2 pair hand or 89 protecting vs draws

Hmm, that's a tough one...

Arguments for folding: Villain could have a set, two pair, or even a straight. It's still very early in the tournament, there will be plenty of other spots to gain chips, so there is no need to gamble this early.

Arguments for calling: There are always 1 or 2 players in the $3.50 games that go absolutely nuts with any pair or draw, most likely with AQhh or KKhh. Even if they are ahead with 2 pair, you can still win with any K, 9, A, or if their non-2-pair card on the board pairs (or the turn + river pair).

Based on rough math, you are roughly 42% to win vs 2 pair (give or take a couple %), but I hate using math in tournaments.

If I am in a gambling mood I call. If I am content to sit tight and wait for another spot, I fold.

This thread is confusing... you want to fold? are you serious?

Yeah, don't fold this ever.

you have gazillion equity vs just about anything and it is a $3 sng.
