I was by far the most active player on the table. I can't remember if UTG (I was thinking this during the hand) was that aggressive or not. I can't say that I thought he was a rock. Any thoughts on the fold?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t1520)
BB (t835)
UTG (t2865)
Hero (t2780)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.

I think fold is right, but not because I think you don't have the best hand. I wouldn't screw with the CL right now. So I say 80% fold and 20% move in. 20% move in because it's only a mini raise and it seems weak but It could be a trap too I guess.
Calling is deifintely out though IMO.

People tend to trap less on the bubble in the lower partypoker sit and gos. Most likely they raise less so they can fold to a big stack reraise, yet call the smaller stacks.

Looks like he has a good but not great hand and wants to take on the BB on by himself. I wouldn't neccessarily say he has a monster here.

I think a push will set you up nicely here, but I'm not so sure I could pull the trigger /images/graemlins/smile.gif I'd probably fold knowing I missed out on a opportunity.

I really like pushing there, it seems to me like he is planning on calling a raise from any of the stacks except you, that is just what his raise size says to me anyways.

Does your stacksize matter here? If I had him covered, I would have done that. The fact that it's the reverse, also entered into my decision.

No the stacks are so close that whoever loses is a big favourite to bubble anyways.. at least that's how the other guy will look at it.

exactly..

If one had the other covered by, say 600+, then things would be a little different.
