Good, Bad or Ugly??

[Cloud]

A very interesting situation here. STT - 4 players left. I put in a big bet with AJ (4 handed) which i thought would be the best hand. Then seats 3 and 4 both push all in. Now normally I would have folded - but I knew the big stack was very aggressive, and I thought the fellow small stack would probably win the hand - and in that case i would have been a remote 4th, but there was a chance of being a guaranteed 3rd if the big stack had won. I figured that, because I had more starting chips than Jerscho - if the big stack won the hand - I would finish third. If Jerscho won i was out with nothing. If I won I would be sitting pretty. With all that in mind - I thought the second situation was a better situation - so i called - the big stack won the hand - and I came 3rd. Opinions????

Re: Good, Bad or Ugly?? Bad play in my opinion mate. AJ offsuit is not a strong hand when there is two allins. Should have been an easy fold.
