Call or fold

    Headsup in a $3.5k Guaranteed game, 1st pays $940 2nd pays $600.

    I've 105K and my opponent has 115K blinds are 2k/4k with a 500 ante.

    opponent is a reasonable player who's been among the chip leaders from very early in the tournament. We've both played very aggressively on the final table, knocking out most of the rest between us. I almost busted him out with 6 players left when I hit trips on a QJJ flop and he was holding AQ but he folded the turn after betting the flop which I called and then re-raising his turn bet when an A landed.

    I had him down to 20K at one point heads up but then he doubled up when AdQh went in against KhJh and the flop came all hearts, and then doubled again when we got it all in on a 5c 7c Ah flop with me holding 6d6h and him holding Jc 8c and an 8 landed on the river.

    We've been playing heads up now for about 20 minutes and though we've both been up and down we're back almost level now.

    So the hand in question, I pick up ATo in the small blind and raise to 15K. We've been raising almost every pot preflop and have only seen a handful of flops in the last 5 minutes.

    He takes a while to make a decision and then pushes all-in. I think he'll do this with any pp down to 66 and Ax suited as low as 8. KQs is also a possibility, but probably unlikely given the stack situation.

    If I call and win I will win the tournament and take $940, if I call and lose I'll win $600 for 2nd. I think it's likely I'm racing here, so should I take the 50/50 shot or wait for a better spot?

    Other than what you said, I can't see any way you can put the villain on a hand here any better than you already have.....there's plenty of play left if you want to fold .... so I guess it's simply a case of ... do you want to make a stand or not with this hand.

    I would.
