Fold. Stacks behind are too big to risk it and we're not a huge favourite to win whatever the other 2 have got.

I'm getting slightly over 7/4 here though.  I'm going to run some numbers on pokerstove when I get a minute.  I think it could be marginal.  Face up vs the two hands I am calling for sure with no action behind.  Of course, I can't guarantee no action behind, but a reshove would look pretty strong right?

Pretty close. Probs fold though. A better spot will probs come up with our stack being the way it is.

I was tanking a decision in my head as BB so CO must bbe a fold.

I did a quick look at some ranges from the two all-ins in front of me, and could need more than 2:1 just on the decision to call them as I had only ~30% equity.

Looks like a good fold.

I'm just becoming more aware of the need to take every edge at these stages of tournaments, especially with the structure the way it was.  Will keep working on spots like this.
