I was short stacked here, swallowed hard and pushed. I know there are special considerations to be made when you are sitting to the right of that stack. Big stack to my left or not I am pretty sure this is still a push and I just ran into a better hand. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

You have no choice but to push here. Calling is weak, and folding is very weak.

Gotta do it. There's all sorts of uncomfortable things you have to do if you're short, and pushing with Ax might be one of them. I had a hand tonight at a Stars tourney where I pushed Q9o UTG+1 shortstacked with blinds 600/1200. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and gambooool, especially if the blinds are coming to eat your babies.

I don't understand how you can even be questioning this push. I'd be pushing much less than this, you are the shortstack and need the chips.

Pooooosh this all day and 3 times on Sunday. You are way too shortstacked to fold or call.
