Default Re: Is this dumb?

You are destined to lose your chips here. Call it force majure, bad luck, whatever.

If you start limping (or, God forbid, FOLDING) K/Q utg 4 handed late in a tournament (short stacked or not), just quit.

Maybe one of the brainiac computer guys around here can tell us the odds of our hero running into A/K, A/Q, A/A, K/K, or Q/Q here. I think you'll find the numbers to your liking and feel just fine about your play here.

P.S. Note that your opponent's playing style (right or wrong) is what actually cost you all your chips. Had he pushed allin after your preflop raise, you could at least have considered folding (although with almost 40% of your chips in, you might not want to consider folding). I dunno. Anyway, I would have put you allin preflop in that situation.
