    Late into a 1500 player tourney, With 45 players left and an M of under 4 I'm dealt A/9o in BB, utg player pushes all in. Folded to me I have the player covered and chose to call only to see 7d8d. Needless to say a 7 on the turn sealed my fate. Should I have waited or was this the right call with the wrong result?

    comments are welcome

    You have to look at the range of hands this guy could be pushing with. If your M was 4, and you had him covered, he could conceivably be pushing with anything UTG as the blinds are gonna take him down the next few hands. You can't blame yourself for the end result, as poker is a game more about making correct decisions. You just got a little unlucky...no biggie.
