push in or wait with 33

paradise multi table. just before the 1 hour break and am already down to a short T740. average stack is 3200. blinds are 100/200.

i'm dealt 33 UTG and i have less than 4xBB left. push in now? if i wait until after the blinds and double up, i will only be back up to T880. if i don't double up on the next round i will (essentially) be blinded out next time around.

i pushed in and ran straight in to AA. was this the right move despite the unlucky outcome? it seems like it to me, but i am quite new at NL tournies.

Push it in, and hope to get called by two overcards. That's your best chance to double up. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

So, you were unlucky and ran into Aces. Heck, in this case your 3s are slightly better than a pair of Ks (not much consolation I'm sure). 7s and 8s are actually the best against a pair of Aces due to the straight possibilities.
