Andy,

What was your thinking on this hand? I can't see calling the raise. You have 250k after posting and blinds and antes are roughly 60k, so you have 4 go-arounds left. Not good, I know, but your blind is in the pot already. It is gone, and you can wait for a better opportunity. Not too long, though. The raise came from a player in tough shape, but not in panic-mode chip-wise from mid-position. He has at least an OK hand(Q-J was about the worst hand I'd expect to see there). PLUS, you have a stack in almost "CPR" mode-Cant Play a Round. THAT stack will shove in VERY soon, and with the large stacks behind, that stack is getting called.

If I thought the raiser was very aggressive AND capable of folding to an all-in reraise, I might try that. I think folding was the best option, and calling the worst.

Congrats on the final table......
