13 players left. I've been playing pretty TAG like I usually do, but I have shown two complete steals when I had I pretty big stack. The players left to act behind me are somewhat tight.

I really wanted to push, but ... I couldn't get myself to do it. Good/bad fold?

I push but I've gone out during the final two tables a lot lately. You don't want the blinds to reach you with your current stack. Hopefully you can flip a coin here with great overlay.

god I love deuces, i just wanted to start this post off by saying that, and i'm guessing the flop was something like x x 2, and you cursed loudly like i did throught the 1mil guaranteed.

But I think this is a good fold because you are in first position, and if someone calls you are at best a coinflip and at worst 80-20,

Good job though overall in the tourney.

Its a push. The blinds are about to take 1/3 your stack, and your probably gonna have to take a stand with a worse hand than this while at the same time having 0 folding equity. When the stacks get short and the blinds get high if you are on the fence generally err towards the pushing side.
