Default Freeroll late stages ace-rag hand

Last night playing in a freeroll in Savannah, GA. Approx. 100 players started, down to three tables. 8 players at my table. Villian has about 8BB in chips, limps from UTG+1. I complete my small blind with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check, Big blind checks. Flop comes A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB checks, Villain bets 3BB. I imagine she has an ace-rag hand. Figuring I'm outkicked, I fold. BB calls, checked to the river where Villain turns over A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. River is the 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Was my fold correct?

no idea what your stack size is...but in general late in a tourney when all you have is 8-10 BB's, if you are going to play a hand, it should be for a push. In that event, I would have folded or pushed from the SB...I would not have completed. As you played it, I would have open pushed on the flop. That late in a tourney I would figure someone with a stack as short as the villains in this hand would be pushing any ace....since they didn't, i'd figure my ace was good.

Sorry. I forgot about that. I had about 16BB in chips.

you might get better answers in the tourney section.....my take is that your read was right on, you made the correct play based on that, then saw your 3 outer hit the river and am now questioning your decision. If the river was a 2, do you second quess yourself? dont be so results orriented, pat yourself on the back for laying down a hand that many wouldnt have.
