did i make the right laydown?

[benneh]

this hand i'm about 4th or 5th in chips in the current $2 hold em tourney on stars. SB had just taken a huge hit in previous hand and i decided i'd call him when he moved in vs my 5s, but i hadn't anticipated the others of doing the same.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t460</font>, Hero calls t440, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t1380</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Button calls t940 (All-In), Hero folds.

i didnt want to risk that much on my stack this early with such a marginal hand, but was i in a must call situation given the odds? do i HAVE to risk my large lead just cause i'm getting correct odds?

for results oriented whores, i would have hit my set (and still lost)

I don't know if I totally agree that you had the odds. You're most likely 55% vs. two overs, but it's very possible that you're 19% against an overpair, and it's almost never gonna happen that you're the 81% end. It is for this reason that I pretty much don't call all-ins with low pairs unless the pot is paying me like 3-1.

The large number of players behind you could also steer you toward folding, but you wouldn't think any of them would have something they would call an all-in with when they didn't raise the first time they had the chance.

Anyway, I fold to the original raise myself and let the idiot enjoy risking 460 to win 80.

Once you call the 460 and it gets reraised, I think you have to fold because it's just way too likely one of them has an overpair.

You should have folded this to the initial raise.

I agree with the fold Benneh, IM me tonight and I'll go through the reasoning with ya.

I should be on around 8-9CST.
