Default How bad is this call?

I am 2 away from the money in Party $50 + 5 tourney. $3500 ahead of the average stack when this happens.
Is this a bad call given the situation?? Should I have raised more preflop?

It's bad. Real bad. Just fold and move into the cash. You've got nothing. And I bet he's not folding for 342 more. Maybe 358, but not 342. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ian, the all-in was panic to act in time. I really wish Party would institute a time out button for decisions of this nature.

The call is just really bad. You said you had more than the average chips..so need to risk it all here.

Another reason...
The board is paired...even if you hit your flush, there's no guarantee it's the best hand now or at the river.

You shouldn't risk all your chips on a draw and definetly not on a draw for anything less than the nuts.

My thinking in the hand was this:

If he had a K, I was drawing to 11 or 12 outs. 11 if he holds KT, 12 if not. If he has a J, I am drawing to 18 outs. Sigh, even trying to justify to myself isn't working. I went broke on a draw 2 away from the money. Very stupid.

Well, I'm glad we got that worked out.
