Re: Do you play this differently preflop? Postflop?
I think I made my error preflop. Instead of pushing, I reasoned it would be safer to see the flop and make my decision from there. I felt that even if the flop brought me nothing I could take a stab at it (if villain checks) and a fold wouldn't be disastrous to my stack as I would still have around twice the shortstack. After reflecting on this hand I think pushing preflop was definitely the right play as it would induce a fold with most of the hands villain could be holding.
FYI I push all in after catching my queen on the flop and villain immediately calls the extra thousand or so chips with two pair, jacks and queens. He hits another jack on the turn and I am out in 3rd.
