Is pushing when short stacked in a tourney a good move when you are on the button?
My situation... In a tourney this weekend.(I don't have much multi-table tourney experience) 1101 entries. 45 players left. I'm on the button with Q-8 off. Folded around to me. I think I had like 13,000. Blinds were 1,000/2,000. Not sure what average stack was, but I think I was in 36th place.(could be wrong) I was trying to steal the blinds, so I moved all-in. I didn't think just raising would do any good. Big blind had AK and called, knocking me out of the tourney in 45th place. How bad a move was this? Any comments, suggestions? Thanks.
