Is this a call, raise, or fold spot?

What do you guys think? Good spot to accumulate more chips? Or is it better to fold and wait for a better spot?

I had pretty big stack, it was early in the tournament and I didn't really want to have to play a pot out of position. I also have to fold to a re-raise I think. I was also a bit worried about the UTG raiser who could easily have me dominated.

  • I think it's a good fold with no reads, if you have less maybe you can jam, like 2k or so
  • still early. you have a decent stack. no need to take a chance here especially with an UTG raise and a UTG+1 reraise. still a lot to act after you as well. i fold also.
  • Thanks for the feedback boys.. I think a fold is ok too but I felt like such a nit to fold here. Especially since people tend to shove a lot wider in those micro buyin tourneys.
