I was in a tournament today, sitting on 2300 chips with blinds of 100-200. I'm the big blind (leaving me 2100 chips). About 35 people of 120 left. Under the gun makes it 400 and gets three callers, none of whom are good players. UTG and the second caller both overplay AX.There's 1900 in the pot to me when I squeeze out queens. UTG has me covered. No one else does. I ended up pushing all in trying to take it down right there and received two callers...AA and KK (which I had never seen before, actually). The flop came out J-6-2.My thought was I was probably going up against a couple of high aces (AJ or AK), which I would've liked to have seen the flop before pushing for, but I didn't want to play queens against four hands.Should I have played it differently? I think with that flop had I called I would've probably gone all in as well. Unlike other people on here, I'm not asking for a critique that I'll argue with. I really would like some constructive criticism.Peace,Jay

to paraphrase Dan Harrington "If they have aces, they have aces".You have the third best hand, and dominate alot of calling hands. They just had the other two.

Based on your read of the UTG player and the fact that no one reraised, I'd push here every time.Bad outcome, but it happens.

It is a crazy game at times....Even if you did not go all in pre-flop-You were all but forced to go all in on the next bet..
