Very Wacky Sit and Go Hand - is a Fold Possible?

With JJ and blinds/stack as they were happy to go all in vs any player, but I did not expect the action I saw when it came back to me. I definitely did not feel great about the situation but it seemed folding would just leave me at best with a tiny stack with 4 left. I assume this is a laugh and call and move onto the next sit and go barring a 2 outer? :P

No a fold is not possible.
Just ran into a cooler.

Btw, you should have pushed PF not raise 4BB.

No.

fwiw I am shoving to open here. With the stack sizes the way they are, why put yourself in a decision position.

Pretty sick way to go none-the-less.

agree with everyone, shoulda just pushed in the position you were in, but if you were in late position and had all that action i believe you could have folded and hoped for a better opportunity.

i went from 430 chips to 8100 in a sit n go last night soooooooooooo never give up if you run into these situations.

Usually I shove in this situation, but the guy with 3800 chips was calling a lot (raises/limps but not all ins), so it was essentially a half pre/half post all in ignoring the flop vs a player who I assumed would call with lots of hands and if he beats me post flop then so be it. That's how he went from 6000-3800 chips.

Naturally every other player at the table goes all in...
