im not calling, but why are you raising with 67s utg?

I'm serious, I want to know.

Any reads on the villain? He's low stacked, but not so horribly bad that he's going to be pushing with the first decent hand he sees.

67s is not a hand I'd want to go heads up with. That hand is much more valuable in a pot against several people, obv.

if you raise like you did, havent you got to ask yourself could i call an all-in with this hand?

Not true. People play soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad in mtts. Like its literally sickening how tight people play to make an extra $10. If you are playing to win the tournament you need good spots to UTG steal in your arsenal because they do work! Bag probably felt here that the table, especially the blinds, were weak and a utg raise would get huge respect. Also sometimes the blinds will take a flop, and a cbet from an utg raise looks strong as well.

Anyways, something I look at more than pot odds when I'm deciding to call all in is % of my stack im risking, and how worth it it is to risk that much of my stack. In a cash game it's incorrect to think like this because you can reload at any time. Anyways, here after bag raises he has about 32k left, and has to call 7400 more. So not only would a call be risking a little over 20% of your remaining chips, you have to show down raising utg with 67 and calling all in! So, I would tank and fold and type "AJ" or something.
