Seems like a very loose call here 197bb deep. At best we are flipping, looks like a very easy fold to me here so early. Why risk your entire stack when you're not in danger of being blinded out so early?

Way too loose a call. Even for 100bb stacks. For 200bb you're pretty much going to only be happy getting KK+ in pre. some will say AA.

It looks like you could benefit from watching some training videos to get used to preflop play in MTTs. Also download an app such as Equilab so you can play around with how well each hand type matches up against the others when the money goes in pre.

This seems like a very suspect call. When stacks are so deep and someone takes this line, sure it is possible we are flipping but we are rarely going to be ahead considerably and I am not at all surprised when we are crushed. Doubling up early in a tournament does not double your expected $EV so even if we knew with 100% accuracy that villain has AKo and we are a marginal favourite, it is still mathematically correct to lay this hand down. (This is under the assumption that we have an edge on the field as a whole, our EV of keeping our tournament in tact and looking for future, more profitable spots is going to be higher than this marginal flip)
