Agreed, I'm not sure what I was thinking in this situation.

This is an auto push for me pre-flop. Win this pot and have a huge stack with 3 opponents left all with about 1300 chips. A great opportunity to bully your way to first. Even if you lost to the small stack, you have a good chance to beat the chip leader for a big side pot.

If this was his first bet of the whole tourney, maybe fold. If he has KK or AA you've got to eat it here. It's a dream to wake up with QQ in this situation.

The pre-flop push would've been great here because CashHawk won't give up his dominating chip position. He'd be second to you...but still WAY ahead of everyone else.

If you're not sure you could call and see a flop (the effect on first raiser would be the same anyway.) If you're looking to save your own spot in the money...that'd be the way to go. If you want to win...push, push, push.
