Keen to hear thoughts on this hand.
$100 NLH tourney 13/55 remaining
Hero btn 14bb 7d8d
UTG +1 limps
SB calls
BB checks
Flop Qd4dQh
Checks to Villain UTG+1 shoves all in 8bb
I fold BB calls. Turn is a d and my flush would’ve won.
Should I have called/jammed that spot? I had a larger stack to my left in SB also.

Hand history is hard to understand. What was your preflop action? How many spots paid? Are we in the money?
I wouldn't get involved with 78s preflop with 14 BBs close to the money in this spot. Someone has already called, and we have a speculative hand that needs bigger effective stacks to be profitable.
Once UTG+1 shoves, we are facing an overbet so our equity is poor. Fold.

Yeah LifeNit is right that is a fold on the flop, perhaps if you had some sort of combo draw but just a FD on a paired board is not enough to really GII here.
I would fold this preflop as well, 14BB is too short, if the table is limp folding a lot you may make an argument for squeezing, but again knowing how close to the bubble pay jumps etc. would help.

the preflop action is confusing although it probably doesn't effect the postflop spot. It really just effects whether the flop jam is 8 into 5 or 8 into 4.
you have a bad flush draw on a paired board facing a 2x pot overbet. Easy fold. Decent chance you are dominated by another draw if they have a Qx then you lose outs.
