satellite push at limpers

[betgo]

I am playing in a $10 Party Poker satellite. I have T800; average is T2000. I have ATs in the SB. There are six limpers. This is a hand I could limp in with, but I decide to push.

I get two calls. One from QQ and the other A6o. The player with QQ was the 4th limper! Obviously, both opponents' play was terrible. I wasn't impressed by all those other players limping. I should be able to win these things more often.

I was a little more than a 3-1 underdog, but I had 3-1 pot odds. If I had just been called by these queens, I would have been a 2-1 underdog with 2-1 pot odds. Obviously, there was a good chance ATs was the best hand. Maybe it was too optimistic to expect to pick up the pot.

Pushing was a pot sized bet. All those limpers made it awfully tempting.

I think I was right to gamble. If I had won the hand, I would have have T4K and I need about T12K to win a seat. And what happened was almost the worse case scenario.

I only like this play if the blinds are at least 50-100.

The BB was 100, so I was betting 800 into a 750 pot.

You're short stacked, nothing wrong with the play in my book. You're more likely to get a fishy call because it's a satellite, but there's nothing wrong with that.
