fold and make a note, 26 bb"s is a spewy reshove and as Rob says, likely to be a capped ranged.
MintTrav:
I played a GUKPT a while ago and witnessed a similar situation where Toby Lewis raised and someone shoved for a lot of chips. Neither was short; they were both middle-stacked about three-quarters of the way through Day 1 with no impending bust-out danger. I was surprised to see him snap-call with 88; he didn"t even think about it - couldn"t wait to get his chips in and his cards turned over. As it happened, it was a race and he won it. I guess those players are looking for any opportunity to chip up and accept busting frequently as an occupational hazard.
Erimus:
I can understand the fold and its probably correct but you have 25 bigs and there will be better spots but win this more than likely flip you are in a much better position to win.
Fair enough its more high variance but 20/25 bigs is still no mans land, get 50 bigs puts you in a much better position to dominate the tourney, if he has an over pair there is always a chance to bink the 8 or hit a funky straight.
I tend to take these spots now whereas in the past i folded if he has the over pair gl, if he binks the flip, sigh move on.
nb just got 22 bigs in 10 10 v aq in $55 mtt, i lost ignore the above, fold.

--- Quote ---Feels like a standard fold I am ahead rarely, flipping more often than not and dominated quite a bit anybody disagree? I think I am about 40%-45% against his likely range.

all on your stats Rodders assuming you"ve played quite a few, if you are break even ish ROI wise at the moment, then maybe its a spot you can start to flip, especially if you are comfortable with a bigger stack at this stage [65 ish left]
OR - if you are break even or worse from this point and you normally fold these spots then maybe it indicates you need to review your short stack game.. [push and call ranges]
all on what sort of sample number you have to go by....
deanp27:
probably fold with no other info but i"m not in the "easy fold" camp at all. If I feel at all he is abusing his table chip leader status then I would call it off.
