    Question MTT tournament strategy - Cash In

    In 10 seat big mtt tournys final 2 tables -
    I look down and see K.K

    e.g 1st to act raises half his stack & he/she has about the average stack. next to act raises all in (again average stack at the time) one more call all in then its folded to me...

    Scenario 1 - I have a little under the average stack.

    A) I fold and move up another 1 maybe 2 places in the cash
    B) I call all in and risk getting out drawn, but possibly going up 3 places & triple my stack size.

    Scenario 2 - I have about 1.5* the average stack.

    A) Fold & move up 1 maybe 2 places.
    B) B call risk being out drawn, but still having half the average stack if I lose.

    Opinions please =) if its a stupid question let me know Lol

    What are the blind levels in relation to the average stack size?

    How oftern do you have 150BB on the bubble as a just below average stack?

    Unless you can put villain on a range of KK+ this is an easy call.

    It comes down to that. Maybe there is a situation where the villain is dumping AK and QQ here, or you have a read he will always flat them.

    99% of the time folding KK would be a bad move here.

    I can't imagine folding KK here.

    A few questions though:

    1) Can you confirm this is online?
    2) Tournament buy-in?
    3) Any reads?

    Oh sorry guys, The stacks and blinds where just random numbers off the top off my head at 5am... I was just thinking about if it would be worth to make that sort of fold to dodge possible bad beats and place higher...
    Was just a curiosity question =)
    I should of made them more realistic, any how... I can see from the reply's that folding them here is not advisable...
    I'll only post questions about hands I've actually played from now on! lol cheers for tho reply's
