Default Stars 4/180 - getting close to bubble

I am second guessing my decision on this hand and just wanted to see if it should have been a super standard call or even re-raise all in.

We're at level 7 at this point for what it's worth.

Poker Stars, $4 + $0.40 NL Hold'em Tournament, 150/300 Blinds, 8 Players

UTG+1: 4,280
MP1: 3,015
MP2: 5,610
CO: 3,920
BTN: 10,008
Hero (SB): 19,362
BB: 4,187
UTG: 7,055

Pre-Flop: (675) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG folds, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to 4,255 and is All-In</font>, 4 folds, BTN calls 4,255, 2 folds

How is this a call, or even an all in, again?

Your stack is extremely healthy (M~30) stack, with a shove and call in front of you. Shoving over seems terrible, with no fold equity, and playing a 3 way pot against BTN likely having you beat / dominated, and/or UTG+1 possibly having a good hand, too. Shoving looks like terrible spew to me.

Calling looks spewy, too, for reasons stated above. Unless villains are both extremely loose, both options seem bad.

I foldz.

Such an easy fold right here. You have a stack for a FT run. You're going against two people who are commited for way over 10 BBs, and the button is going to push any flop IMO and you'd have to hit the flush or jack to be sure of calling. Not to mention, it's likely either UTG or BTN, hell, even both, hold an ace and possibly a much better ace than you with AK or AQ, of which you'd be playing for flush value, something you don't want to try and play for with &gt;10BBs with a stack that is able to go to the FT with.

Clear fold. Your stack has great positional advantage over other stacks, allowing you to dominate the table. There is absolutely no need to jeopardize it with a sure showdown.
