you call...
you have him 3-1 in chips, so if you lose you are at about 5000, and from what i can see the bb is still at 30?

Another tough spot. When the 4th person in a raise fest pushes I think youve got to give him credit for AA or KK though and fold. If AK is in his range (but it really shouldnt be, its tough for AK to fade two likely pairs when its likely at least one of his outs is gone) its a call.

Eh, it's tough. But I'm folding.
Even if he has AK or AQ for some reason, the majority of the time he's going to have us beat. With us having an above average stack right now, and only investing 270 into the pot, I see no reason to call and be wrong this early in the tournament.

I'm folding also, but then again I'm a thief in tournaments so I'd steal my money back in no time.

I think a fold is correct this early in a tourney unless the guy is a complete idiot.

It could be AK, but more likley a higher pocket pair. You could call and hope he has AK, and then of course hope to win the flip.
With your monster stack this is an option.
