How was this play?

I lost quite a bit earlier with KK, so I am shortstacked.

What do you think of this play? I didnt think anyone would have two pair, maybe a set of 3s or 4s, but if so I still have outs.

You flopped an absolute monster. You aren't really behind any one hand except a set where you are 60/40. I'm happily pushing here.

[JCoe]

i think you make the right move. i don't put anyone eles on 34 either, but it does happen. i thought you might be up against jacks with a better kicker, but you still had outs.

[patrick dicaprio]

with your stack and the amount of limpers i would push all in preflop. if you steal great you have gotten a lot of money for the steal and there is a better chance than you might think that it will happen. if it doesnt you still have a good hand and are not that much of a dog to most hands players will show up with if they call.

I agree allin was the best pre-flop call here also

[EvanJC]

i dunno, i think it can be argued either way. jts is certainly the kind of hand where you want some callers, but the steal attempt isn't a horrible idea either.

i think i would have played it just as you did.
