Short Stacked - All In Correct Here?

[666shooter]

I understand what you are saying and I think I should have pushed all-in on the flop. My plan pre-flop was to call, and if the flop didn't hit to fold, otherwise I was going to push everything in.

One of the big factors in playing the hand to begin with was time. I thought I was short-stacked with little time left and I thought this was a cheap enough opportunity with the odds. So do you think I still had time to make some chips and get back in the tournament?

I don't think you were critically short stacked, you would have 1035 left after the blinds pass, and with the big blind still at 200, you do have opportunities.

There are arguements to both fold and call pre flop, but with that kind of flop coming down, I would push and not check raise like the others say.

in my book, 5BB is critically short stacked

You basically don't have many chips left and a very large draw (unless someone shows two higher diamonds, then you're toast.)

Probably you need to open-push - just to keep the fold equity alive. Naked aces still will call here, of course, but you have some chance, and then you can work on your flush.
