its a very difficult decision, one that probably separates winnesr from losers.

on the one hand, you have about 15 BB. on the other, you said you are in 29th out of the 38 left. i try not to worry about the latter. with 15 BB, I think you can afford to call, fold or reraise.

unfortunately, i've already read what happened. my initial reaction was to do what you did - allin. but the person who pointed out that you are only getting called by a hand that beats you is correct - which is why the options go down to calling or folding.

there are two players left to act. i assume, they are the SB and BB.

are you good enough to fold if either comes over the top of you? if not, then folding is the right option.

the other advantage of calling is it gives you the chance to use the stop and go possibly. kk might fold if you push an A-high flop.
