Second hand of tournament. No reads. Is this a standard flat?

Poker Stars $100+$9 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

CO: t2980 M = 99.33
BTN: t5290 M = 176.33
SB: t2970 M = 99
BB: t2240 M = 74.67
UTG: t2990 M = 99.67
UTG+1: t4050 M = 135
UTG+2: t2730 M = 91
MP1: t3750 M = 125
Hero (MP2): t3000 M = 100

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is MP2 with A

1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, UTG+2 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, Hero raises to t120, 4 folds, UTG+1 raises to t480, 2 folds Hero: ???

such an odd line....wish we had time to OPR villan to see how bad he is though most good regulars are not taking this line with much of anything...

how did he get his 4K?

I think we ship or fold...calling seems pretty blah cause he will shut down when we hit with most pairs and we are gonna fold to a C bet a ton...

kind of a vomit shove for me. AA and KK for villain aren't that statistically likely. I hate doing it but if we can get JJ or QQ to fold a small portion of the time I think it makes it profitable.

Bleh yeah I think it's a shove or fold spot, and neither option seems great. FTR I did shove and he happened to have KK. I'm still not sure which option is better, but I'm probably being slightly results oriented.

If we remove one of the zero's in the buyin, I', shoving, but in a $100 tourney I can find a fold here. I'm not too happy about it, but it seems to me that a limp/raise at this stage is a big hand.

Loosekanen has a point regarding getting him to fold QQ/JJ, it's just that I can't see a decent player do this with JJ. And I'm never calling btw.

I definitely dont like calling. In a $109 i have no idea if folding or raising is better. I sure would have a tough time laying it down though.

dont mind folding here with only 4% of my stack invested (mostly by process of elimination)
