I just want an opinion on my play of the last hand I played yesterday in a $280 live tournament. It was a 2 day tournament with 6 starting flights. The field was 869 and paid 81 spots. There was 85 players left and I was very short after losing a flip with AK vs 88. Blinds were 4k\8k, I had a measly 41k. I was in the hijack and UTG opened to 21k. He had about 160k behind and from what I could tell was playing snug. I looked down at 88 and jammed my last 41k. I knew I was getting called but what else am I waiting for being so short? The old me would have insta folded and squeaked in the money. He had 99 and the board ran clean for him. Should I have folded my 88 and waited for a better spot? I asked myself do I want to min cash or possibly have a chance to come back and win this tournament. What is the correct play here???
