    I would have won a large pot if I had pushed but would it have been the right thing to do. With the big stack raising and a guy all in after I figured fold would be correct, but due to the quickness and craziness of this tourney is this right? Just looking for some feedback.

    Don't be results oriented. It was a easy fold. You are generally behind there. At best you are hoping for a flip and you might be against 4 overs if the original raiser calls your push.

    Yes there shouldn't be any question in laying this hand down. You have already seen not one but two raises in front of you indicating strength of at least one hand which is probably better than yours. Also remember you need a stronger hand to call a raise (let alone two raises) than to make a raise yourself and you would have been putting 2/3 of your chips at risk with a somewhat modest holding in 77.
    And as the last poster said, the results of the hand should not influence the way you questioned your decision, if you were concerned with that then you might be devastated that you laid down 72 in the BB after two raises preflop and then the flop came 772 and both your opponents went all in and showed AA for a split pot where you would have tripled up. You've got to think in terms of the correctness and appropriateness of your decisions and not be discouraged by the fact that you would have made a lot of chips by making a bad play. :)
