Default FT $11s, what should I do? and wtf i get 4th?

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

SB (t2575)
BB (t590)
Hero (t320)
Button (t10015)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero calls t320 (All-In), <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t2405) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
.

Turn: (t2405) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2405) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2405

im stupid i shoulda folded, but i thought if i or the other players beat the bb that i would get 3rd. Big stack had AK and won with a pair of kings, BB had 96 and somehow gets 3rd? I dont get it because I beat the BB shouldnt I get 3rd? Anyway, [censored] ME [censored] [censored] [censored].

You had less chips. Button beat both of you. You are 4th.
all 3 were fighting for the main pot. that includes your chips x3 + SB. you lost this pot - and so all your chips - to the Button.

BB call is pretty bad i think...

BB was all in cuz the blinds were 300/600. He was away and won like 10 all ins in a row, leaving me in this [censored] situation.

oh ok. still there is just a main pot. and then less chips gets knocked out first.

Tough situation, but he can't get lucky all the time, a fold would be ok here.

This is an interesting situation. If you fold and BB happens to win the hand or get a walk, you are almost certainly going to bust out in 4th. But if you call, and you win the hand, you are still super short-stacked. However, winning the hand (assuming the button or SB hadn't called) allows you to survive another round of blinds, during which BB will almost certainly lose. I think your move here depends on how knowledgeable the other players seem to be. If you knew that button or SB would call with anything (as they should), then you can fold and hope BB loses. If not, at least you still have a chance next hand to stay alive.
