Sitting with 20 players in the 20+2 multi shortstacked. I take a free flop in the big blind with pocket 3s. The small blind continues his aggressive play and bets out (blinds are 400/800) after a flop of Q-J-9. I immediatly come over the top of him for my last 1400. This was a mistake. Two other players in the pot. Whoops. The player to the left of me called my all in, followed by the chip leader pushing his whole stack in. The SB folds, and the first caller of my allin folds. The chip leader turns over K-10. Great. Thinking I'm dead, I about walk away. The turn is a jack, followed by the river of a 3.Sorry Bud, but its my turn to put a beat on someone.

oh that's a horrible beat to put on somebody. You needed a perfect runner runner. It's really a very bad play by you to push all-in with that flop. It's pretty obvious somebody had hit it. I'm sure he had some choice words for you after.

No, I think he was muted. He didn't say anything all tourny. And I didn't see it as being a terrible play since with the combo of antes and blinds I wouldnt last another round around the table. Also, my table constantly went 4-5 to the flop. Of course if I get a call I assume I'm beat, but I wasn't planning on getting a call.

well you had 4 players that limped in. A flop like that looks pretty damn attractive for somebody that limped in. What you should have done is push all-in pre-flop if you were short stacked. The blinds would have been very valuable to pick up. Your not going to be able to pick up many pots playing 33 against 3 other players. When your short-stacked any pocket pair is reason to push, sure your a underdog to a higher pocket, but you have to take those chances if you want a chance of winning.

i agree with jayboogie. Although its great you caught your boat on the river, going all-in preflop would be a much better play

I was only sharing a bad beat... like the forum reads. So go ahead and continue bashing my play, all you want. Go right ahead. I was shortstacked and was just making a move on the pot there. Yes I could have done it preflop, but that in no way matters to this thread.

nobody was bashing you. just suggestions the way I read it. You're being overly sensitive.
