Today I had the chance to triple up. I had 10's and I knew one opponent could have anything, he was a maniac. And I figured the other had two over cards. We all called all in (i had short stack). Crazy man flipped over A-7 offsuit, other guy flipped A-Q of diamonds. So, I'd like to first of all know what my chances were going into the flop of winning this hand.

Second, if we assume I am a good player (this is wholly debatable), and I have a 60 % shot at doubling before going broke, what would be the correct percentage to seek in order to try and triple up? A 55%, 75%? Basically, I'm asking if my move made sense, considering the fact that I had 60 % to double anyway. Would a player who doubles up 80% of the time before going broke make the same move?
Thanks in advance
