    so I'm play a double or nothing and we are 6 handed. This hand comes up and I'm kind of confused on the correct play. I think I played it wrong but will have my explanation after hand:

    pokerstars Game #25937572108: Tournament #147783343, $10.00+$0.40 Hold'em No Limit - Level VII (125/250) - 2009/03/13 22:54:18 CT [2009/03/13 23:54:18 ET]
    Table '147783343 1' 10-max Seat #7 is the button
    Seat 2: cacamou1234 (1675 in chips)
    Seat 4: hottub33 (3510 in chips)
    Seat 6: USC SARG (6245 in chips)
    Seat 7: A_Lucky1 (940 in chips)
    Seat 8: JCOOL513 (1315 in chips)
    Seat 10: msmalls4 (1315 in chips)
    cacamou1234: posts the ante 25
    hottub33: posts the ante 25
    USC SARG: posts the ante 25
    A_Lucky1: posts the ante 25
    JCOOL513: posts the ante 25
    msmalls4: posts the ante 25
    JCOOL513: posts small blind 125
    msmalls4: posts big blind 250
    *** HOLE CARDS ***

    USC SARG: raises 1000 to 1250
    A_Lucky1: calls 915 and is all-in
    JCOOL513: folds
    msmalls4: folds
    Uncalled bet (335) returned to USC SARG
    *** FLOP *** [As 8d 4d]
    *** TURN *** [As 8d 4d] [Qd]
    *** RIVER *** [As 8d 4d Qd] [3d]
    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    USC SARG: shows [7c Kc] (high card Ace)
    A_Lucky1: shows [Ac 9c] (a pair of Aces)
    A_Lucky1 collected 2355 from pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 2355 | Rake 0
    Board [As 8d 4d Qd 3d]
    Seat 2: cacamou1234 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 4: hottub33 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 6: USC SARG showed [7c Kc] and lost with high card Ace
    Seat 7: A_Lucky1 (button) showed [Ac 9c] and won (2355) with a pair of Aces
    Seat 8: JCOOL513 (small blind) folded before Flop
    Seat 10: msmalls4 (big blind) folded before Flop

    So I'm sitting in 5th, trying to find a spot to pick up blinds. USC Sarge is maniac...I'm insta calling his bet but the short stack calls. I thought for a bit and ultimately folded JJ. short stack was super tight and probably only shoving good hands in this spot as big stack is making a 5th place stack lose his BB. I fold hoping SARGE outdraws. Now that I think about it, if I call here...shorty has to beat both of us or he's out. If sarge wins, i have more chips and take 5th and make money. Also, thinking more about hand I realize that shorty will have to prob double or be forced to play his BB all in with any2 so it makes his range wider then I first thought. I have a feeling I should have called and am just hung up in result oriented info. I did make money so it worked out but I think calling here is the best option when looking back on it
