24$ tourney, 1070 PLayers, about 90 left.
Since we are itm and people are going crazy, 10 busted in the last 2 minutes, so folding my way up in the money would be a conisderable option. Could make about 10 bucks more out of it, if i play passiv.
Villain pushed very much all-in, has never been called. survived the last half an hour by raising and reraising all in.

Very easy call.

Unless you're playing in like a $10k buy-in you got into for a couple hundred bucks, I highly recommend that you strike all such thinking from your head. Almost all the money is at the final table, especially the last three spots. That's where you want to be.
You welcome the action with your hand, as only two hands have you in jail, and if he's been shoving a lot, there is zero reason to believe that you don't have him crushed (he might have like JT here for all you know, not to mention any smaller pair, any Ace, and a large number of hands you're destroying). Your stack is actually quite small, and this would help you out a lot.

I generally dont consider it really if it would "cost" too much (we had a mathdiscussion about a similar situation once if you remember), meaning that you have to wait many hands, but here they were busting in 20 second-intervalls.
I have actually another hand where I had a hard time...
somehow it seemed to me like a weird bluff.
Villian was playing some very weird hands too, like limping with J6os in MP and stuff.

I agree.

If villain has AA/KK in the first hand that's just horrible luck.
DC is right, with most tournaments the payout doesn't get big till the final table, and when its a $11 tournament making an extra $10 by folding is a horrible option. Obviously if you're in a big buy-in tournament, that extra $10 might be an extra $1000 instead, which is an amount of money that does matter.
