Thanks guys.  I really appreciate the helpful advice and words of encouragement. 

knowing I made the correct decision has given me the confidence I'm going to need to improve my game.  Good to know I haven't done my image at the casino any damage also.  Couldn't help thinking the others may have labelled me a 'sucker' for making that move.  Augurs well for the future Cool

Been a regular viewer for a while but haven't had the guts to post frankly.  Still learning the game and don't want to embarass myself lol.

Anyway I've been playing online for a year or so and played my first live games in a casino recently.  I got to the final table the last time I played, had roughly 8000 in chips with the blinds at 500  and 1000.  Chip leader had about 30000 so I guess the average would've been around 15-20000 by this stage. 

In the second hand of the final table I was BB and it folded round to the dealer button who raised all-in for nearly 9000.  I looked down at

 

I probably should have thought about it longer than the ten seconds I did before calling but I quickly went all-in and ended up busting out of the tourney when the dealer button's

     held up.

Analysing the hand I've convinced myself that I made a correct call.  I had played against the guy at an earlier table and knew he was capable of a steal.  I don't think he would've went all-in with aces or kings so I would've been getting reasonable pot odds, I believe, with two overcards.  Had I doubled up there was more chance of cashing overall too, even winning the thing!

I do have this gnawing doubt that I should have folded and at least got some more experience of a final table however.

What I would like to know is what would a pro have done, or the many more enthusiasts on here who are far better and more experienced than me?  Cheers
