SnG epiphany

[Chah Ngo]

Just played a $10 SnG at Paradise. Managed to fight back after being crippled early to make the last three. I am short stack but 2nd place just barely has me covered. Chip leader has 3X our 2K stacks.
Here is how I went out:
Got 10 10 UTG and push all-in. 2nd place calls me and I am delighted when he turns over 10d-7d. Unfortunately, the flop is J8x and turn is a 9 and I am gone. Now, I think this is the worst beat ever (I think I am about a 7 to 1 favorite here) and begin to stew. Then it occurs to me that the person that took me out might have been correct in their call. Any comments?

more information is needed to make that judgement... like--- what the blinds were, how much more it was for him to call (was he BB or SB), etc.... for example, if the blinds were only 50/100, he definitely didn't have odds to call....

also, how had you been playing up to that point? very aggressive, pushing a lot? was it likely that your hand wasn't very strong, etc....

I think the blinds were 50-100 or so. Yes, I had been aggressive. Due to my short stack I was all-in pre-flop any hand I played. Caller was in small blind. We were both around 2K TC.
