getting late in tourneys... suggestions?

I was in a super-sattelite yesterday, and it was getting toward the end. This was a pretty small one. Was 26 players total, and they gave a seat to the WSOP Sattelite for every 12 entries, so basically only the top two paid. 3-5 got a piece of their entry fee back.Got down to the final table, and there were 8 of us left. I think I was UTG+2. My stack was around 2100, and was 2nd lowest. The rest of the stacks were in the 4-6k range. The lowest stack was before me. The blinds just went up to 300/600 on that hand. The lowest stack went all in, ended up being 900 or so. I have J Q . Assuming that he'd have to play a "ehhh" hand, I called him. Somebody raised behind me for all but 140 of my chips. I ended up calling (why not all in, I have no idea) Flop came down Q K 10 rainbow. So of course, I dumped the rest of my chips in. Not like they mattered anyway.Obviously, I wouldn't be posting about this if I didn't get knocked out, but was calling the raise a bad idea? I just assumed that having the blinds coming down the line, that this was a pretty good hand to 'make a stand' with. If I folded the raise, the blinds would pretty much wipe me out.What do you guys think?

You shouldn't have just called, you should have pushed all in.. you were committed to the pot anyway, you wanted to get it heads up... That guy proably would have called anyway, but there's a chance he saw your call as weakness, and wouldn't have called an all in ( I don't know what he had either, so I can only speculate). The point is, you should try and never get to the point where you're in such despirate chip straights..

Yeah, you have to make a move...but this hand only works if you're the one doing the pushing. Little stack could have a hand, because even Ace high is a small favorite over you.Gotta wait until you can push in yourself

You have to make a move; you barely have more than 3xBB left.QJs in your case is a very strong hand; your only moves are to push or fold at this point. I would have pushed and taken my chances.

Calling pre-flop was terrible. Push em all-in or fold (I may have leaned towards folding myself...Queen Jack looks nice, but it ain't). :wink:
