Pokerstars $11 10 minute levels and there have been several hands with 2-4 people all-in preflop. I think it was a good fold considering the action in front of me, but wanted to hear any arguments against my move.

Yeah the limp was kind of weak but I thought I could see a cheap flop from the SB. MP2's reraise all-in is what made me fold.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP2 (t5730)
MP3 (t6785)
CO (t2125)
Button (t4790)
Hero (t4075)
BB (t3040)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t200, MP3 calls t200, CO calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t3040</font>, UTG folds, MP2 calls t2840, MP3 folds, CO calls t1925 (All-In), Hero folds.

Not sure of the standard in this tournament and as to whether it is a rebuy tournament you are refering to but under normal conditions this is a clear fold. The limp preflop is not weak as your hand is not strong enough to stand a re-raise. Also you are out of position therefore what do you do against 1 or 2 callers when you don't flop a set. Best to see a flop for cheap 6 ways and hope for a set. You played it correctly.

i cant imagine doing anything else. a call would be terrible. at very best you're probably 40% to win, giving your opponents credit for at least three overcards and no pairs. at worst, and more likely (although it probably wasnt the case here or you wouldnt be posting it), you're up against two overcards and an overpair, making you a bigtime dog. this is an autofold.
