Default AsJc deep facing lots of limps, and then raise calls

Blinds 60/120

Table has been very limpy and bad and all of that [censored].
MP1 (1,900)
MP2 (2,500)
Hero (6,200)
[censored] (BB) (12,000)

Folds to MP1 who limps, MP2 limps, Hero with AsJc raises to 500 on button, fold, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls:

Flop: Ks 6s 5s (pot 2000)

BB pushes all in, folds to hero who ????????????????????????

PS: Considering that all my posts are entirely [censored] situations that go beyond the simple "88 does what in the button," should I just quit? I'm getting so [censored] tired of this, I feel like I'm losing it.

ok, I'm not gonna quit, and I'm sorry to seem like I'm pissing and moaning so much. I won't include pses and what not like this anymore. It has to be annoying to some.

Nevermind, this is a stupid question, it's an easy fold this deep.

Basically, I made a terrible miscalculation and got upset about it. I looked at the pot, 10K, and thought that was how much I'd get if I made the call. WRONG, obv, I get 7K, and given the range of this push, I can't imagine how calling can be profitable here.

Hey Barry,

What made me feel a lot better when I was on my long downswing (although in my case, my losses were more due to my own stupidity than the stupidity of various villains, but still) was watching some of the hand histories in the sticky. Beyond whatever learning there is to be had, I got a big psychological boost because (a) it was a pleasant surprise to learn that in the vast majority of cases, I would have made about the same decision as the good guys, and (b)it's really nice to see good play rewarded with a win or deep finish.

Just a thought.

You do have the As, but against a push it's a fold as you don't have the stack size to 'play' around. You completely missed anyway...
