This is the 4th hand of the tournament so no reads. I hate these situations, since there are no flush draws and only A5 and 56 got there in terms of straights, and 42, 43, 32, 92, 93 and 94 seem unlikely so I think this has to be a set, right? Unless of course he thinks his A9/K9 is good? Do you get it in here?

No way he has 5,6 or A,5 esp considering only had gutters on flop and 3 people behind him. Looks like set to me or some kind of silly 2 pair type hand that was being cute but even that is odd turn raise with 2 pair.
Set seems pretty likely or he's a goofball.
Big pairs are the devil early in tourneys and 20 people calling you pre makes it worse.
I think I am stacking off or doubling here. You might see AA,KK, or a set, but I think you will see a random spaz out w TT or 9x a lot of the time as well. As early as it is, I don't think you can be faulted for folding this, either.
on ap, with their blind structures early on i change up my raise sizes. ur raise was correct in terms of blinds and the callers pre but 65 chips is not enough to make any1 go away pre. i mean raising 65 this early while evr1 is deep stacked is danger. i woulda raised to about 150 – 200 with prem.
villian could have nearly anything. but sets are very reasonable. folding is never bad but i dont think calling/jamming is ever wrong either. just all depends on ur style and stages of tourny
i call.

I agree with Bjizz is making the initial raise bigger in order to get rid of some limpers. Also with the hand I have no problem getting it in. I rarely think hes turning over A5/56.. I also don't think you should be that afraid of the min. 3bet. I'd put him on top pair low kicker or he turned some kind of draw. Would have a really tough time putting him on a set but it would make sense for him to flat 22,33,44 OOP. I call, r/c the river i think.
