I was severly shortstacked, due to getting bad beat on my last hand. Was this the correct play? Do you make this play 10/10 times or should I wait until I get a better hand?

You are going to get called, that is a fact. But I still push.

I wouldn't necessarily say you ARE going to get called.

You got called by weakness, Queen high. What did he think you could be pushing with?

I think the push was fine.

Yes, I push here 100% of the time. I'm surprised the BB didn't call as well.

If the button didn't call, the BB would have to be a complete idiot or on a bathroom break not to call.

Easy push.

It's an easy push here. You only have 2.5 times the BB. The blinds are going to eat up your entire stack soon. You are by far the short stack. You need to get lucky, that's all there is to it. I'd push here 10/10 times and hope to get called and double up.

very easy allin, you aren't likely to see anything better than this. Also in some games you still have decent fold equity.
