<font color="blue"> </font> I was short stack in the table and I was at dealer button.. I just got some bad luck at the end of this hand .. was excited with that flop.

The Table was pretty aggresive so people were flying down left and right so if i tried i think i could have actually folded my way a couple more ranks... but isn't the point of poker tourneys going for first place?

this is my like 10th final table this month...

you can't be moving up the ranks when everyone's waiting for YOU to bust. on the button this is a very easy push.

I like the push. You're short-stacked enough that you really can't wait much longer. There are only two people left to call you, and you have a decent hand.

1) Don't post the results.
2) Don't let yourself get influenced by the results
3) Push this every time. In fact, I'd have pushed with a lot worse than a3 in that spot. You have 5 big blinds, you are in desperation mode. If they have a bigger ace behind you, so be it. Be more concerned with doubling up then squeaking up another spot in the money.

i definately like this move and dont regret it at all.

Shortstacked late ina tourney i was going to push with any decent hand or Ace X. This was suited so it helped my decision even more.

Im not so mad about it at all but it kind of sucks since the 3 hit on the flop but he beat me with the runner runner flush haha.
