Hate that fold. I would be thrilled to see AQ in your position.

It seems like you just want to get your buyin back. Not to be really critical but I do know advice like this, and I had that mentality when I first started out. You will be nothing more than a second rate player if you miss out on opportunites like this. You HAVE to push and win this race.

Pretty much the responses I expected. Knew I pussied out during the hand. I think the fact that it was only my second casino tournament, that I wanted to at least say that I walked away with something. There were about four other people with shorter stacks than me at the time, but that still doesn't excuse my action. I regret the decision now, and although I made the money, I should really have taken the gamble and shot for the final table.

Edited to add: What is the BEST hand you would fold in this position? May as well take something out of the experience...

I'm probably pushing A9+, middle PP's, maybe KQ and KJ.

I might even stick in with a suited connector to have some live cards in this case (7-8,8-9,9-10 suited). You are getting that short. I'm cutting it off with A-9.

I'm pushing any pair, any two paint, probably K9 and better kings, and I think pretty much any ace. The raiser's range is huge, and he could I guess fold. With any ace, you're ahead of anything but a pair, and a coinflip if you have A7 and he has 66.
