I don't have that program everyone uses so I'll do my best to make this simple and understandable.

It was your simple and basic 9 player $1.25 Sit & Go. I was not making any bad plays up to this point, I was just on the wrong end of some hands and I was down to about 950 with 8 players left.

I'm BB (50 chip bb) and get dealt Js3s. There are 5 callers behind me but nobody raises so I just check.

Flop: J 6 3 rainbow

SB checks, I bet 100 to weed the nobodies out but to keep the I may have somethings in the pot and get 2 callers.

Turn: 3

I check my full house and the UTG acts next by moving all in for ~1000. Other person left in middle position thinks but then folds to me. This would obviously put me all in and I'm running through my head what she could have. She acted first in the beginning by just flat calling UTG and I thought maybe a A3 or 34 suited. It did go through my head that the only way I could be beat was with a 66 because she would have definitely raised preflop UTG with JJ but 66 I could understand the flat call.

I actually called time to think this over and eventually figured I should just call. She turns over a 66 for the better full house, river does nothing and I'm out in 8th which upset me a little since I was on a very nice streak of making the money but I realize these beats will happen.

But if I folded, I would've still been left with about 800 chips and maybe made a better run.

I don't think you can ever fold a full house here. At these stakes villian could have been pushing with a variety of hands that you are way ahead of.

Don't sweat it. No way to fold that. In fact, I wouldn't fold the flopped 2 pair and I might not even be able to fold if I flopped just top pair considering that I had already lost 1/3 of my stack.
