    i think this is a risk you can take. 1.82:1 means u only need to be good 35% of the time here and I fully expect a race (w/ AQ prolly) when the cards come over.

    I like the call here. I agree with Staresy, you're probably racing.

    your chip stack can handle this race. Barring a solid read I would probably call here.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    Likely even with opponent's range at worst. Odds way too good to fold.

    Funnily enough, my biggest MTT cash so far involved me getting 99 on the first hand at the final table and calling an all-in from AQ. I lost (but won $200).
