Did I make the correct decision??

[Donka]

Final Table of a live tourney( 80$ bi $20$ bounty, turbo blinds increase every 15 mins). Top 3 get paid. Blinds are 1k and 2k, I have about 75 to 80k. 8 people, utg limps, i have JJ, i raise to 6k, seat 3 reraises to 16k and he has about same stack as me, 4th folds, 5th shoves his remaining chips, about 11-12k, 6th folds, 7th raises all in he has me covered, 8th shoves all in he has like 30k, back to utg he calls all in and has about 60k... What should i do, shove all in or fold??? After some feedback I'll tell u what I did.... if u need more info just ask like players styles etc

lol this is about as big of a no-brainer as it gets. FOLD FOLD FOLD. You're going to be lucky to be up against hands like Ak + AQ + maybe a smaller pp. You have 40bbs and should be able to find a way better spot.

yep fold.. all that action out there, Time to LOse the jacks, Even if u were ahead, what are the odds of that? lol there pocket three's probably would of held anyway. If you folded kudos!!

Easy fold, I think. You've got lots of overs out there and JJ just doesn't play well in a multi-player pot. You've only got 6K out there at the moment.

yea well i thought about 10 secs and said "easy fold here" and mucked it.. seat 3 called, turns out 4 players that went all in had AK, and the short stack had 77, no straight or flush hit any of em.. and no set for 77, i would of won a mega pot, been down to 4 players, and collected 80$ 4 more knockouts to go with the 2 i already had previously.. i was so astonished.. i kno it was the right fold but i was second guessing myself after that.....

[Invertedafro]

don't second guess, play ur gut

Too many people in the pot to shove. If you were already itm I would consider it, but being that you need to get in top 3, I would fold and hope the biggest stack wins to knock the rest out

Although it may be tempting to call here with all that money in the pot, after investing almost ten percent of your stack into the pot. However if there are eight people remaining , most of whom are all in already, and the top 3 get paid I think it's an easy fold, secure your spot. let the other dogs take each other out if they are bent upon it. Don't gamble your whole stack 5 spots from the money. Even with AA here I might consider folding.

I can agree with everything you said...even possibly folding AA,,,but man that would be tough.

while folding with JJ here is probably the best idea, folding with AA would be bad...yeah, there's a good chance someone's going to crack your aces, so what? Blinds are going up fast...go for it.
