all-in with 3.5 BBs

In Middle-Late position the others folded to me. I have 35s and pushed with about 3.5 BBs. 100 players left and 60 players make the money. The blinds were soon going to double also. Is this a bad play?

what are the chip counts of the players behind you?

I think the bad play was getting to 3.5BBs before pushing. I'd rather push with a naked Ace at 10BB than 3s5s with 3.5BBs.

good point, everyone behind me has a bigger stack. one player could easily call that i remember. I guess that means i should ve waited for a better hand. I thought I had a chance to steal at that point. with the blinds soon increasing i thought i was my last opportunity to steal.

i mean, it's not THAT awful of a play. shoulda found a way to get ur chips in earlier when u still had some FE.

at least your cards will be live

i hear ya, but i wouldn't push with 10 BBs and risk losing on a naked ace. I have played like that before and had poor results. Also in this game i just lost with aa. I did have an opportunity to play ajo against 3 allins though and folded that. but all the hands had me beat 88, 66 and aks.
