I can't always be lucky... I just wanted to hear if at this depth in the tourney there were other choices.
There shouldn't be. 1/3 of the field needs to get knocked out for you to make the money, so the bubble isn't a concern. (Even if it was, you should jam to maximize your fold equity unless MP is playing the bubble stupidly tight.)
You played the hand correctly and lost, it happens a lot.
(I do have a potentially interesting ICM-impacted AKo hand from a few weeks ago I might post if I remember to.)
