It's possible you played correctly, but not likely. If you go all-in for 3000, how often will you get called? You're winning something like 1800, and even if you get called you're a 2:1 dog on average, so you only need to succeed in stealing the blinds here about 30-40% of the time to break even on the chips, and you'll probably succeed more like 60-80% of the time.


Often you just need to wait until the big blind is somebody who's pretty tight, and then raise with anything.
