Final Table Decision
 

The following is my final hand of a tournament I played yesterday. I had reached the final table against a field of 2269. I arrrived at the final table with a relatively short stack and had survived one orbit. Two players had already been knocked out immediately after joining the final table.

I found myself in the BB against a raise nearly 3 times the BB with KJs. I had two thoughts about the situation.

I thought if I folded I might be able to survive another orbit and possibly someone else might go out in front of me. Eighth place paid $453 while 7th paid $680.

My second thought was, this is the best chance I have to take a stand. Likely I would not recieve a better hand before I was blinded-out and the raiser might be completely bluffing.

What would you have done?

Calls this every single time. The way tourneys are set up you have to play for 1st, forget blinding your way for another 200 when you have a shot at winning several thousand.
