Default PP $100 SnG--Chasing the Dragon...

...or in this case, the draw.

I'm curious as to how others would play this.

I just recently returned to SnG action, have been playing MTTs only, and this hand came up on the first deal at a Party $100 table.

I am in MP1 looking at

two folds to me, I call 15, two calls after me, SB folds, BB checks--four to this dandy little flop:

3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I like it, I like it! BB bets out 30, and here I make a mistake, IMO. I raise to 75, thinking (A)to discourage those behind me, and (B)I was willing to take the pot as is, considering I had nothing yet. (A) went just fine, two folds. (B) not so much--BB raised all-in!

So now we come to my question (but feel free to tell me how bad my wimpy raise was--hey, I hadn't been up long--like that's a good excuse).

Do you fold here, or chase the 15-out draw knowing that the chance to double up is counter-balanced by the chance to flame out in a glorious heap of ashes?
