You don't mention antes, so you're getting 4,750 to 3,500 on this call.  Basically, you need 43% or better to break-even on a call.  It's not impossible that you have that much with A4o, but it's not a sure thing either.  The fact that he's shoving from EP into the full table suggests he's at the higher end of his range and is more likely to hold a pair or an A-x hand.  Against that range, you're only 36%.  If he was shoving from the CO or BTN, after the table folded to him, I think the call is better.

In short, the call was pretty fishy.  Sure, you have enough chips to take a -EV spot in the hopes of busting someone out.  At an early time in the tournament, removing a single player doesn't always increase your equity much.  The chips you stand to give away will mean a lot for the short-stacked player.

To answer the original  question, I don't really talk about poker or poker strategy at the table. I like when other people try an talk strategy. It tells me a lot about how they play and how I can exploit them.
