If you run into AA the results are the same except you get home much later.

I was originally marginally in the fold camp, but this line has turned me into a caller! Great line!
In response to whoever said Harrington said never fold Kings pre-flop...Sklansky says he thinks it is very wrong to call with Kings in this situation in his Tournament Poker for Advanced Players book. For every action etc...
There is no right answer. Only wrong ones in my case.

So you"d rather pay your entry fee for a few minutes play rather than a few hours play?

Just remembered - second hand of the EPT event I played in Copenhagen, I was dealt KK.
Early position raise (obviously with a table full of Scandies), and it was folded round to me, and so I re-raised.
If he"d pushed all-in here, I would have folded quicker than the queue forms behind Des at the bar.
Incidentally, he actually called, and I check-raised an all-club flop and he folded.

You remember this now!! ;)

Yes, I was thinking to myself if the standard and buy-in of the tournament would affect my thinking and action in this situation.
I"d play it the same way in an APAT national event as I would in an EPT event. The tournament buy-in shouldn"t matter to your actions, the fact that the tournament is a "one off" (as the EPT was in my case, I won"t be playing one of them again unless I"m lucky enough to qualify for one through a sat), etc.
But I wonder how many on here who said they"d call would do the same if it was the first hand of an EPT event? You"d certainly be chip leader if you won the hand! Be a short-lived adventure if you lost.
