3r 300ish left, is this too weak

[grouchie]

My chip stack is in the top 20. Is it worth risking about half my stack on what is most likely a coinflip at best... or do you wait for a better situation here?

I admit I am currently not good at tourneys, but this was a tough decision for me.
Easy fold? easy push? Or tough decision?

any help appreciated

Im pushing here. I dont think you are necessarily a coinflip at best. The button may well be doing this with AX also. Is he pushing preflop with AA or KK? Its possible but I think a smaller raise is more likely although suspicious. I would think 99-QQ and AK,AQ and AJ are more likely and this could be a definining moment for you if you win the hand. If you lose your still in fine shape. Also the raising is coming from late positions so you could be up against worse hands than those mentioned above.

I think normally i may have called, or pushed over top of it.

I think the fact that I had won the last hand with KK to get my stack made me doubt calling/pushing.. as I didn't want to go back to where my stack was just 2 hands ago...

Looking over it more, I think this was way too weak tight... and part of the reason i am not a good tourney player yet
