What to do

[Newportlad]

After some advice please.

Im in MTT $5 rebuy, and there are 28 players left. Pays down to 20th. Im currently in  4th place with 38K in chips.  blinds 500 - 1000. 
I get dealt  Ah in mid position.  I caller in front of me.  I raise to 4K, and its gets re-raised to 20K by the (slight) chip leader.

What should i have done?

by the sound of your post you feel making the money is important, if so you fold.i would go all in! but then again i usually lose! >:?

[Newportlad]

No, the money isnt important, just pointing out that its near the money in the tourney

[Ironside]

your not in and stack problem and at this stage you dont really want to be going against someone that can knock you out in a 50/50 so i would fold

[Newportlad]

Thanks for the replies.

I did fold the hand, as i thought i could wait for a better opportunity than a coinflip.

BTW: In the end i finished a disapointing 13th

[thetank]

It was a good pass. (Always harder to do when they're the same pretty colour.)

13th pays more than 28th

Yeh I would of folded too, but im a chicken

Not sure that this is as easy a fold as everyone is saying. It has to be very dependent on how the other guy is playing, if he's reraised a few times before I think this is an easy call. In a vacuum with no info whatsoever I'm still erring towards calling. why has he pumped it up to 20K? Maybe if he's got AA or KK his raise will be a bit smaller?

Its still a 50/50 race situation unless you are sure he doesn't ahve a pair though
