Default wait for a better spot?

Unsure about how to play when I get into "all-in or fold" territory, whether my stack is still big enough to wait for a better hand or whether I should take advantage of the dead money here already in the pot.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter

MP2 (t627)
CO (t1207)
Button (t1820)
SB (t730)
Hero (t590)
UTG (t2570)
MP1 (t456)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t200</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t730 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t490 (All-In), UTG folds.

Flop: (t1520) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t1520) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t1520) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t1520

Fold and wait for a better spot. Sure you are short stacked, but you have UTG raising (he might just be trying to bully the table), and then a "push" for the SB. You have to assume the SB has some sort of hand and you have nothing.

If everyone had folded, and you could have pushed against the UTG's possible steal attempt then I might say maybe, but not against two players and all I have is a suited two gapper.

With two players showing strength you have to be behind here. Fold, and wait for a chance to steal on the next round - you don't want to take your bb again or you WILL be too short stacked to make anyone fold.

Love that new DT album. Their second best behind M2:SFAM.
