FouTight: Td Qs

Pre-flop:

Greggers folds. helenrnurse raises to 1275.
msbrandyb1 folds. Cbers folds. virgoguy22 calls.
RickHi calls. Deep146 folds. Lawman00759 folds.
FouTight folds.

So here I have a situation where we are on the bubble of a 10$ MTT on UB- 35 players left or so and top30 paid. Helen (7.1K seems tight) raises, Virgo (17.8K just got moved, table leader and he has been moving his chips since he sat down), Rick (3.4K calls for 1/3 of his stack?!). The call to me is 975 and the pot is now at 4500 (25 * 9 + 450 + 1275 * 3).

4500 : 975 = 4.6:1 to my money, which is quite favorable and I would tend to make this call with alot of hands.

I had 7780 at the time, so this call was for 12% of my stack (7780 / 975). I didnt like that at all but Q-10 is a top20% hand* so its not total crap.

I really wanted to, but the little voice in my head told me to screw pot odds because it was almost sure I was dominated. (however, even if dominated I dont know if 4.6:1 is +EV or -EV)

What do you guys think about this situation?

Fold. The main problem with this hand is that you are going to have a hard time avoiding getting your chips in if you flop a hand like top pair, when you could be drawing slim.

Your odds are decent, but not great with that many players in the hand. (more players = lower equity). You could limp behind here, but calling a raise and overcall is bad bad bad.
