Re: Tournament question, would you call?

To be clear, I did not play this hand well, that is obvious. The preflop
raise came after I called the $50. When it got back to me I had to call
$100 more with $650 in the pot. My call would trigger the flop as the
person after was the raiser. At this point I knew it was bad but I called
with the 6.5 to 1 odds. After the flop (<6d 7d Qh>) UTG went all in and I
was next to act. his all in was $840 and I called. I knew instantly that I
should have either folded or jammed but instead I chose to continue
playing like a major Donkey and I called. There were still 3 people to
act. Each one of them pushed all in, including the chip leader at the
table, meaning to see the turn I needed to put my final 2600 + chips in. I
chose not to. figuring I only had a 5 and 10 that were not dianonds as
outs. Well, I folded and the cards were flipped up. There was a set of
Queens (This was the preflop raiser, the guy who made it $150 and the
player acting after me.), A pair of 9s, one of which was a diamond, and 2
people help 7 6 giving them 2 pair. The Turn was the 10d and the river was
something I don't recall except to say it wasn't a diamond. I would have
hit a straight and won, as it was the Queens took the hand. I then went
into a "I am such a crappy player, what am I doing" rage that it did not
take long for me to donk off the rest of the chips and quit playing for
the day. I just wondered if you all thought it was an easy call. Thanks.

I'm gonna agree with MysteriAce. You played it like a total donkey, and
should not be playing hands like 98h preflop if you play the hands like
this after the flop.
