Would You Call or Fold With Your Tournament Life on the Line?

Let's say you're deep into a poker tournament. The blinds are getting bigger, and you've managed to build a decent stack.

You're dealt Ace-King. One of the most beautiful starting hands

You raise preflop, and one opponent goes all-in. Everyone else folds, and now the decision is on you.


You look at your cards again. Ace-King suited! It's a monster hand, but there's a catch, if you call and lose, your tournament is over. If you fold, you'll still have enough chips to fight another day.

So, let's settle this! 

I want to hear your answer. Let's see how the Cardmates community thinks

Well, ideally we'd have more info like how from the bubbe we are, how many bbs we have reative to the rest of the field, how active the guy who shoved is etc....

But, with this info, yes I'm calling, assuming he hasn't raised more than 35/40 bbs, which is usually a lot relative to the field deep in a MTT.

It depends on how many blinds you, and your opponents have ie if you have 100bb and the rest of the field has 10bb I'd say its a fold. If the field is quite even YOLO it and hope
