    There's 2 people all in before you, 1 of them is likely to have a pock pair and the other is likely to have a high ace/king (Blocking 1 of your outs) deffo a fold as you are gonna be less than 50% to win the hand.

    You never want to be going all in  less than a 60% favourite in a DYM (except some tricky situations)as you need to win more than 55% to be profitable.

    Even then if you should not try calling to be a 60% favourite (unless on the bubble) as even when you double up you are far from guaranteed a win.
