Default A couple of sattelite hands

This structure was a 3 table Frequent player point sattelite to the big sunday tournament on stars, however only 1st place got anything so it was essentially a 27 player winner take all. My plan going in was to not be afraid to gamble and do whatever I could to accumulate chips as there was nothing for 2nd.

We are down to 5 or so and I am far and away the chip leader with 32k..rest of the table at 4-5k or below. I'm just bullying the table and raising almost every pot. Blinds 200/400 with a 25 ante, I raise to 1200 from the cutoff with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Button pushes in for 4k. With the blinds and antes, I'm getting a little less than 2 to 1 on the call plus the chance to eliminate yet another player, so I call and pray I'm not dominated.

3 players left. A player who had sucked out on another short stack's all in finds himself with about 10k in chips and suddenly starts coming over all of my preflop raises all in. And me, having hands like 34s and 75o have no choice but the fold and suddenly we have similar stacks about my 17k to his 15k and another short stack at 3500. He obviously has the illusion that I will fold to an all in as he has come over the top of all my raises and I've been folding. Blinds 300/600 50 ante. I complete in the small blind deciding against raising when folded to me with one of my favorite hands Q9. He checks. Flop is J93. I bet 1500, and of course he goes all in after a short pause. Call here?
