    Default Big decision while big stacked in 1K MTT on Full Tilt

    OK, I'd like to hear opinions:

    1K buy-in MTT on FTP. 221 entrants, 156 remain. I'm in 8th or 9th spot. Top 27 get paid. Two other big stacks at table (one slightly more than me, one slightly less). I've got about $9400, average about $4000. I'm relatively new to table and probably haven't established any real image yet. Guy who has me slightly outchipped (villain) has been very chatty and seems somewhat aggressive. He was not a name I recognized.

    Blinds 50 and 100. EP with about $3000 raises to $300. In MP, I reraise to $800 with KK. Villain in late position insta-raises all-in with his $9600, covering me. Folds to me.

    I'd like to hear thoughts. Whether it matters or not, I placed 3rd 3 weeks earlier for $23K, so I had a decent bankroll and satellited in.

    Thanks in advance.

    the stacks are deep for a tournament, buts its still very standard to get it allin pre with less than 100 blinds

    Well, I agreed with you all. Thought for a moment, then called. Villain turned over AA, flopped a boat, and I was out.

    The problem is that with any possible hand to put him on (AK, QQ, AA), his push was not a good bet. The only hand that I think might merit his push would be KK, and that was obviously unlikely.

    Thoughts?

    You'll see a donkish AK/QQ enough to make this a easy call.
