[Snook]

The following occured in a recent satellite and i would be grateful to know peoples opinion on the incident.

The satellite was down to the last 49 and only 48 received entry to the $100 rebuy later that evening. I had a healthy chip lead (36,000) and the short stack (2,500) was in the BB (2,000). I held AKos in early position and raised 3xBB. A large majority of the table then proceeded to abuse me saying I was out of order. Mainly because I was virtually already through and it made no odds to me if I let the short stack keep his BB. As it was my first ever satellite I assumed i'd broke some sort of poker etiquette and apologised to the short stack (he didn't accept it).

In hindsight though I don't see what I did wrong? I made an acceptable play and i'd have been doing the other short stacks a dis-service if i'd have just folded.

Was I in the right or wrong? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There is a happy ending though and the short stack ended up lasting long enough to scrape through.
