Terminal

Where are you in the tournament? In the money? What is average stack size at this point? It looks like you have a pretty decent stack, with KK or AA I push no hesitation, but with QQ I have to look at other things. Against an unknown, who is risking his good size stack against someone who can bust him, I might be willing to lay this down.

I probably call in this situation, but I'm often wrong too. Since your raise has one caller and another re-raise, it's possible you've up against AA or KK. On the other hand, at a $2 buy-in, someone could be pushing with AJ offsuit here too.

I was sitting in the top 20 out of like 200 people left at this point.

I've posted hands like this several times over, and I always here, "when a guy re-re-raises like this it always means aces. Books upon books have this advice in them. Why is it now "correct" to call here? It's not like this guy is desperate.

This table has 3 relatively large stacks, mine being one of them. We've all enjoyed beating up on the rest of the table up to this point.

TO be honest, I think I called, but have to look it up. If I didn't call this one, I lost shortly after on a similir decision.

I might let this go. I've made this fold before.

I think there's a lot of evidence to suggest that you are beat, so folding isn't that bad.

The way I look at it is you reraised. Part of the reason for that was evidently to get information. Well...you got it. With no reads at all, it looks like AA, KK, or AKs. I would fold.

God dammit. I can't find this hand anymore. WHile looking, I found these...
