Early in a $10+1, I definitely call here. I think you are decently ahead of their ranges. I'd put them on at smallest 99+, AQs+, AK:

        	equity (%)  	win (%)	tie (%) 
Hand  1:	30.9956 %  	28.85% 	02.14%      { 99+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand  2:	30.9956 %  	28.85% 	02.14%      { 99+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand  3:	38.0088 %  	36.76% 	01.25%      { QQ }

So if that the range for both of them, you have an edge. Frequently I'll see even bigger ranges though. 77, 88, AQo, AJs are not too uncommon for early all-ins in a $10+1. With these wider ranges you have:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 28.1628 % 26.84% 01.32% { 77+, AJs+, AQo+ }
Hand 2: 28.1628 % 26.84% 01.32% { 77+, AJs+, AQo+ }
Hand 3: 43.6745 % 42.73% 00.95% { QQ }

And sometimes you even get people going all-in with smaller pocket pairs, high suited connectors, and things like AT. Every now and then you get that drunk guy with T6o that wants to push you off your 100-chip raise by going all-in. A lot of donks.

In any case, you're likely to go bust more often than not, but I still think this is worth the gamble to build a stack early that you can really work with. If you go out, it wasn't much of a time investment you lost.

this is tough ur probably up against ak and kk but if they are gamblers u can be up against ak and smaller pair. if u can put ur opponents on the latter of hands u should call to race for a chance to triple up.

fold is OK, I think calling is OK too. you SHOULD be crushed, but often you aren't.

I knew what this was before I even clicked on it. It's a very good read. I think a lot of people underestimate the power/EV of doubling up early on.
