This was a $1.20 sng and was down to final 4 players. Before i lost a pot where i made a straight on the river, raised an opponents bet and he called showing a flush. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

So did i make the right play here with King Queen?

Pot: small blind (50) + big blind (100) + my raise (300) + reraise behind for the rest of my chips (890) = 1340.

It costs me 590 to call so i'm getting 1340/590 = 2.27 to 1 pot odds, which is huge, considering my M was 5.9.

Question is, being on the bubble, in Harrington's book you should only call with aces or kings if there is one big stack and the other stacks are around the same, but considering my situation, i needed to make a move, the player who reraised all in had been raising alot in that round of blinds.

Thanks, and sorry if this is the wrong forum to post.
