Hey all,

Learned a lot lurking here for a while. Thought I'd post this hand to see if anyone would have played this differently.

<font color="black">
When Punk #1 raised all-in, I had been expecting that to happen no matter what cards he had. Plus I had almost 6x his stack. So I raised a decent amount. My big decision was when Punk #2, who had me covered, reraised all-in. He could have a monster, or could be making a play because he thought that I was making a play on the short stack.

I ultimately called, but was seriously considering folding, since I'd have 1145 chips -- more than 11x the big blind, with several hands left to go at this level. The fact that there were two much smaller stacks who were likely to go bust before me also entered into my thinking. So my choice was: call the reraise and either be dead or be in position to win the tournament by winning a huge pot and busting two players at once, or fold and be in position to finish in the money.

My primary question is: did my consideration of folding smack of being weak-tight or not playing to win, or would any of you have considered that option?
