4 bb open looks strong, but I really wanted to play with fish IP.

Fold it preflop. You will have alot more opportunities to play vs the fish when the pot is smaller, why play vs him when his range is the nuttiest in a bloated pot?
You always want to play vs fishes, thats true. That means you are willing to give a little card advantage, which is ok if you are deep. But you are really shallow.

Postflop there is nothing we can do with top pair except ship it. I mean we could avoid going broke if we are on the bubble or something, but even then it would be better to just fold preflop :f_drink:

Pre-flop this is indeed a clear fold against a 4x raise of a passive player and the flop is pretty standard with top pair. Normal I would shove or fold with a 24bb stack if I deal with a 4x raise.

What kind of tournament is this? In a 0.5$, I'm really not really keen on folding here preflop. Players can have anything on any position no matter what the raise is. 22 hands means squadoosh. Only reason I can find to fold is that we're too shallow and the raise comes from UTG and vs that range (of a normal player) we don't do very well with AQo. Since we don't have the stack to really play postflop in this hand, this might be a fold. If I have like 18bb here, I'm never folding.
