question 1 ... if 95k is well below average then pushing and praying is more automatic

question 2 ... right on the bubble then folding with 19 BBs is reasonable

question 3 ... if blinds raise fast or slow determines how much time 19 BBs will last. Say the blinds double to 10k/5k in the next hand (some turbos do that) then your 19 BBs just turned into 9.5 BBs
1) Average chip stack was about 105-110,000 at the time so I would of been slightly below average after folding.
2) We were already in the money, with 12 people left, but most of the money is at the final table.
3) 10 min. levels, people were playing fast at the time because it was hand4hand.

Answer 1 ... Just slightly below average so I felt a call would of been my best option.
Answer 2 ... In the money but nearing a final table with some big money. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type of player to fold good hands for a pay jump , I play to win, but when I had no experience with the guy who had raised 3x UTG I didn't want to shove into a premium and race when I don't have to.
Answer 3 ... Next level was 3k/6k so 19 bb's would of gave me 2-3 rounds to find a hand.
