I am one of the tournament leaders in the early stages of a $8 180 on stars. I have 4400 chips, villain has 875. Villain has been fairly quiet and goes all in and I have to call 875. What should I do?

Hmm, I think its a fold, not so worried about his range with 8.75 bbs, but limping and 3betting leaves you in bad spots when any of the 18bb+ stacks shove,a re shove is only getting called by hgiher pockets or overs.

Pass this spot up and conserve your stack and use it to dominate the table.
