If the small blind is willing to do this then I would laugh out loud and fold ... I would expect to have a reasonable edge on the individual concerned ... in this example has he declared that "he" has AKs.
If he has not shown his hand ... then non-trivial to discount AA or KK ... so you have to fold ...
It"s amazing how much of a field think they do have an edge (probably including consistent losers!) ... how many of these will end up in a race after 10 hours of play with their mythical edge?
Question is how much advantage could you make of the double stack in the slow structure - if you could take a lot of advantage then worth flipping.
What would you do with the rest of the day if you lose ... if you could make some money playing cash or working then looks like a great call ... (but why did you enter in the first place?)
For the insta folders - what winning hand % would you want before you called?

Top response.
In the example he has AK he has held his hand up and you have accidentally seen it. You know you are about 54% fav in the hand is the important thing.
(I agree QQ is a fold if you have not seen his hand, probably KK as well, although I would call KK. It really doesn"t matter I just wanted a situation where we were a little bit better than 50% early on and gave the most extreme example)
Talking about the edges people have, that"s kind of what I am asking about here. Personally I don"t believe I have a large enough edge to justify a fold here and would call. Yeah, I reckon I could use the large stack as well. The one thing I will say about losing a flip after 10 hours of play, this might be fine as it might very well have been correct to take the flip at that point, knowing that is all part of your edge.
What would we do if we lose the flip, that"s why it is set at DTD at WCOAP. Whatever we like pretty much, play cash, play a tournament go to the bar, we are not going to get bored. I entered the tournament to win it, for the gold medal and the trophy and that is my main goal. A smaller goal is getting to the final table. Calling is the best option for me to do this.
What % would I want to make the call? About this, I would not call on an exact 50/50.
I just find it interesting how many people believe their own edge to be enough to make this spot a fold. I think this claims quite a significant edge, certainly more than I believe I have.
Also +1 to what John said, doubling up at this point MORE than doubles your chance of winning/finaling the tournament
