[Gone Forever]

Here's a hand history from a tourney I just got knocked out of. This is my last hand. My question is this: If you're short stacked with big blinds (compared to your stack) it's correct to push with mediocre holdings, is it not? If you have fold equity and first raise.

Anyway, should I have waited for a better hand or is this standard?

CopperRiverRed INSTA called my raise. I don't think there was even a half second between my raise and his call. I don't know if he wanted to go to bed or what the deal was. I see him playing quite frequently and this just seemed very out of place.

I'm thinking he's got a hand like A2K3 or something, but, then we get reraised. I know I'm in trouble then because I'm about 80% sure ninelives has AA2x. I have to call my remaining 115 chips. There's obviously no possible way I can fold.

The flop hits and I think I'm golden. It's a rainbow and I've got top set + a 2 that will counterfeit most low hands. I can't help but think this hand would have ended up like this even if all my money wasn't in preflop. It actually took me a second to figure out why my straight lost.

CopperRiverRed called the reraise and then the 394 on the flop. Even though he had no connection to the flop what-so-ever, there was like 5k in there. I guess I can't blame him for making the flop call. I just don't understand why he wouldn't reraise his last 394 preflop when he already stuck in 4/5 of his stack. Like I said, his whole play of this hand was just weird.

I've been losing to bizzaro plays like this on a regular basis since Saturday. ProDonkey said I'm going to start losing on the bubble more than I thought imaginable. Oddly enough he was right. I think he cursed me. Lol. I'm not really going negative though. I just seem to float around the same amount of money so I guess I can't be toooo mad. It's getting a little frustrating playing for hours and coming up even for 4 consecutive days now. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Let me know if you think my preflop play was correct. Thanks guys.
