I'm in the small blind on the final table with 2 1/2 bets left. UTG goes all in with 1.5 bets. UTG1 calls. Next has about 1.5 belts left and folds. then the next 2 call. I pick up QJs. I go all in. The Big Blind barely covers me. The others call.

Of course I lose, because the big blind picked up AA and won unimproved.

With only 2.5 bets left to go, did I have enough pot equity to call? Or should i have folded and waited.

Fourth place was $30, Third $70 Second $115 and First $285.

With an all-in, a call, and the BB behind you, I'd fold this and hope for at least one opponent to go out. You've got three hands left to pick a better spot.

With the allin and call this is an easy fold for me. You were getting like 4:1 on your money so it's not a tragedy though.

[Scotty O]

Fold. You are behind. Also, you did not say how many players left.

First, let me say I'm not all that good at hold 'em. But with such a small stack I would have gone all in. This was probably the best hand you were going to get before busting out and you had a chance to more than double up. I don't know if it's the right move, but I would have done the same thing.

[Lottery Larry]

I think I'd wait it out, depending on how close to the money you are. However you have a good overlay on the hand with all of that money in the pot and you are desperate.

No way I make that call. When UTG goes all in, and UTG1 calls, I know my JQ is way behind. I mean, you got the button coming up, and it's likely you're going to lose at least on player in this hand. Easy Muck.
