I was playing in a Party players club 500 point freeroll tonight (1989 players started) and the following came up:
There were 20 people left. The chip leader had about 225,000 chips. Blinds were 5k/10k. I had about 135,000 chips and was in the BB with [A♠][K♠]. UTG had about 120,000 chips. He raised to 75,000. The Button called his remaining 60000 chips. Everyone else folded. I thought about pushing but I was thinking that I didn't want to end a five hour tournament in a race situation. I folded. UTG showed QQ and the button showed JJ. The cards came K5573.
I know that this isn't really that significant a tournament but I am killing myself for not pushing. Am I right for thinking that way?
