Default Too weak on the bubble?

I was really torn about this one. Normally I'd probably just push and hope for the best, but with the one tiny stack...plus it seems like I'd been going out 4th a LOT recently. Should I have pushed instead of folding?

Party 22.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

BB (t676)
UTG (t1465)
Hero (t1784)
SB (t4075)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t800</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t1400

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
No showdown. UTG wins t1400. </font>

i definately do not push here

he is calling you with most hands...i'd open raise this all-in if he folded to me but this is where the gap concept really kicks in...you are in-effect calling an all-in right here and KQo is not a good hand to be calling an all-in with if you have no chips commited.

You're what 50-60% vs any two? Maybe make this push but no way you call. Good Fold.

A shortstack getting blinded out next few hands? Good fold.

What are you ahead of with KQ? why risk busting out when you're almost given 3rd.
