Easy fold unless he's been raising all the time. He's second stack with 6x BB, so he's not desperate yet. Best case, you're up against A8 or worse. Much more likely to be a coin flip or a bigger pp. There are 2 left to act, so there could be a better hand behind.

Plus the tournament position says it's better not to lose than to win. If you win, you're not biggest stack. If you lose, you're out. If you fold, you're still not smallest stack. Let him smash into someone else.

Folding is correct IMO, although painful.

I did end up folding, but was wondering if I missed a better spot then the coinflip I ended up in on the bubble (I was called by 33) fortunatly I stopped cursing this hand when the board double paired on the river and I went on to win /images/graemlins/cool.gif.

It looks like a tough fold to me too, but where do you draw the line here? Jacks looks like an easy call. What about nines and tens?
