Default Re: how bad was losing these chips??

I don´t like the shove on the flop. You have nearly no FE against V#1 and you have no need to protect as you´re drawing to the nuts, so what did you try to accomplish?

On the flop you can be nearly 100% sure, that you are actually behind - so you look to improve (making 2-pair / flush).

As V#2 went all-in the chance to get a free-card on the turn should be very high. So I just had flat-called the shove of V#2 and hoped that V#1 just called as well. In this case I assume it to be rather certain that V#1 will NOT bet the turn and we can see if we improve by the river. If not, we can safely fold - which would have saved us a stack of 45k, still being in a very healthy position.

As played here, you invested additional 14k to win 14k (the side-pot) which means 1:1, but you´re just slightly better than 2:1 to improve, so a shove is bad here.
