I mean, im surprised you didnt go All In pre-flop with that hand and your chip stack.
Besides, you do have plenty of outs no matter how good your read was on the other 2 players, plus if you win, this moves you closer and a better shot at the bigger prized money.
If you registered to win, you have to play to win and risk it all.


For those who just want to make the money:
If you're worried that you wont make the money and wasted a bunch of hours for nothing and have read them perfectly, then fold by all means.
But look at it this way, as stated above, you mostly likely wasted half of your chip stack on that hand.
Now you're really in trouble because if you didnt make the money after that hand, your chip stack has no leverage, which means if you decide to go All In on another good hand, anyone with a sizeable chip stack will call you with any crappy hand and knock you out of the tourney if they get lucky.
Folding might make you the money, but thats only like getting your money back.

But thats just me.

This basically sums it up. Also, if you're buying into a tournament that's a good amount of your bankroll your decision would be to lay it down almost without hesitation. If you're playing a low buyin (relative to your bankroll) tourny, you might as well call it. If you lose, its a small hit to your bankroll
