Meltdown or okay? Small stack, final two tables, 2 Axo blind hands
 

My final 2 hands at Party 500K qualifier

950 entrants, top 7 qualify
18 left
hero (30,000) is 14th out of 18 stacks
avg 53,000

blinds 1500/3000
hero BB w/ Ac 6d
...folds...
button (40,000) raises to 6,000
SB folds
Hero raises to 15,000
button calls
flop -- 2h Qs Ts --
Hero checks
button bets 15,000
Hero folds

I hadn't defended against button previously. Not particularly aggro.

Hero SB w/ Ad 4h
..folds...
Hero bets 13,500 (all in)

BB was in sync with increasingly tight table.

Should I feel as sick as I do?
Final hand I had to bet 4500 anyway.

Would MAYBE have called the 3,000 extra to try and flop to it.

But I think that the right decisions here would either be fold or all in. With your 15,000 raise you're betting half your stack and pot commiting yourself, you have a better chance of winning if you move all in and better fold equity, as well as giving him the lowest pot odds possible.
