Is this for real? it's awful. Terrible. Losing play from any possible aspect. Only explanation will be that you had one of those famous pattern maps, and knew what cards are going to come. Another possible explanation is that you had to leave the game (Actually, sitting out is probably better EV than your move). This is one of the worst played hands I remember reading here, ever (Maybe I'm exagarating, please forgive me... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

OK. So what are the "reasons"?

Edit: I hope you're not going to say you were pot-commited after his reraise, and had the odds to call ... I really really hope...

Edit 2: To be more specific and constructive - pushing with this hand when it's folded to you, is marginally OK in specific sircumstances. I don't think this is one of them. However, the way you played it, putting half your stack in, and then calling another half, is the worst option possible for playing your hand, IF you are so eager to play it, for some reason.
