A spot i run into occasionally and dont know how to weigh all the factors in. unknown villain open shoves first hand of tourney
whats your default calling range ot an open shove, and by how much does it change according differing buy ins and whether its sunday or not

most of the time its not worth calling imo – a double stack at this early stage isnt really worth that much more than your original 3k. so probably QQ+ and thats it. not even sure i call with AK as i feel you are flipping most of the time.
not sure if that is too nitty though
yeah agree with benny – if the guy does this you can way more easily get those chips without so much risk through the rest of the tourney
probs QQ+ and not AK also
had the exact spot today in a $8 tourney and folded JJ
When i play low stakes and if i get AA in first level my default play is to open ship.

works quite well in rebuys
I did work quite well to openjam nuts a couple of months ago. I feel that I got a lot of calls then, but nowadays villains are kinda nitting up in these situations and don't donate the chips w AJs anymore. What I still do is overjam over a open in rebuys, where I get a lot of calls. In freezouts over 10 Dollar I believe the openjam is more or less dead, as you get called way to infrequently.
However a couple of fish still like to JAM wider that premium hands, but it is incredibly difficult to get a read on these players, as you hardly ever meet them. Therefore I agree with the super-tight calling range vs unknown, as more often that not it's a premium hand, trying to look fishy.
call off kk+ folding AK in all freezeouts. calling withit in the rebuys.

In a $50 f.o buyin I think QQ+ and not AK
In anything less than $20 f.o or Rebuy I think I call JJ+, AK. Reason I like to take this/gamble in the smaller buyins is because the structures are usually worse and I feel I can do damage if I get that double early.
Def agree with Tiny and the open shipping AA/KK first level.
