I was playing at a tourney today in Macau. Structure wasn't deep and blinds increased pretty fast. starting stack of 5000 and blind levels 25-50, 50-100, 100-200 (20 min levels)
Doubled up pretty early. Next hand guy with 30bb opens (he opened a lot), next guy with 50 bb shoved all in. I am sitting with AKoff. I tanked and folded thinking it was too early to race and I already have a good double up. Easy fold or a snap call?

Btw the board ran Q, 10, J, 4 and K. So i hit my straight and K also.

Guy who opened had 88 and guy who shoved had 66.

We don't know how much guy who doubled up early (you) has chips or positions etc. but yeah, because you hit your straight its an obv call.

Sry guys, but in a Turbo-Tourney (20 Min. Live is Turbo) i get every premium hand in. For V it wouldnt make sence to push AA or KK here. Also you block this 2 hands. GII!

You have to race in turbos, you can't pass situations like this. If it was more regular tourney and stacks were deeper, then you could fold preflop, but almost never in turbos.
