Poker Stars $2.00+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t60/t120 Blinds + t15 - 7 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG: t5142 M = 18.04
Hero (UTG+1): t3975 M = 13.95
MP: t6170 M = 21.65
CO: t14915 M = 52.33
BTN: t12525 M = 43.95
SB: t9452 M = 33.16
BB: t2935 M = 10.30

Pre Flop: (t285) Hero is UTG+1 with 8

1 fold, Hero raises to t360, 4 folds, BB raises to t2920 all in, 1 fold, HERO ?

OPR has villain as slightly winning player but I have no reads.

I can't figure this out ... My thinking was "I have 30bb if I fold so I'll have better chances to get it in." I just didn't think that he does this with anything I beat.

Flame away...thanks for the help

fold, no need to risk it here.
There will be better spots (especially in a tournament like this where the opponents are weak in general)

I never fold, you have like 50% equity against his probability weighted range. I would call if this was a 12 let alone 2

at this stage in the tourni is there merit for just folding 22-88 pre flop? I think it just might be a fold pre.

I'd fold it, the original raise was fine though, you could get away with a little less if you wanted, like 310.

Yeah at this point I think 3x is a little to much I usually like to make it 2.5x
