Bad call?
Situation: I'm in a 31 man B&M tournament, buy-in is 15 dollars, and we start off with 1050 chips each. Due to a couple of bad beats, I'm down to 350 chips, which makes me the short stack, and it's about halfway into the tournament, so I'm looking to take a stand before blinds get raised.
I'm on the button, and I get dealt KQs, so I wait it out to see if anybody is going to raise. Everyone folds until it gets to me, and I make a modest raise of 150 (3xBB), which leaves me with only 200 chips left. SB folds, and then BB, who's currently the chipleader with about 4000 chips in front of him, raises me all in, so I call.
Turns out he had JJ, which, I believe, is a 55-45 favorite to win against my KQs. To make a long story short, the board is of no help, and to rub salt in the wound, on the river he catches a J, giving him a set.
I just want to know, should I have folded? Or was it worth the coin flip to try and double up when I'm short stack? Normally, I wouldn't have given a second thought to this kinda hand, but this shit's been happening to me a lot lately (the other night, a guy at a ringtable I play with called a 10 dollar raise with A-8 off against my A-9 suited, only to catch an 8 on the river), so I'm wondering if I'm beginning to play a little too loose.
