Re: Did I deserve to be berated for this play?
You didn't deserve to be berated, but I don't like your play. You tried to steal under the gun and got played back at really hard (raise from utg+1 and a short stack all-in).
You're not closing the action and you're going to call off over a 1/4 of your stack and then fold if utg+1 makes an isolation raise. You're out of position. If you don't flop your set are you going to check raise all-in or push on low cards on the flop?
I think I'd just lay it because of all the above factors. If you had a bigger stack then I wouldn't mind calling hoping to hit a set or out play utg+1, but you don't.
