Looks like the right fold to me.

Thanks for the reply man. I have been noticing that you have been replying to almost everyone's posts. On behalf of everyone, I'd like to thank you. I think your info has helped me out on quite a few hands. Late

If you had more chips than either of the other players, I'd call, since you could lose the hand and still get 3rd.

As it stands, I think a fold here is fine. By folding, you have somewhere between 40-60% chance of finishing in the money. If you call, you could easily have a less than 20% chance of finishing in the money (although a better chance at 1st or 2nd).

Folding is the right play here. It's the stack sizes that dictate this move, BTW, not the strength of your hand.
