Ok now obviously heres my options...and i know this has been dicussed before.

I can go all-in like i did and put everyone at a decision...and with my short stack i can get called by the bigger stacks with anything probably they are loose players so id probably be a good favorite. Other case is everyone folds and i take blinds which i really didnt want now that i think about it i kinda decided id probably be in anywayz. Would it have been smarter to raise lets say 300 and try to get some callers and move in on the flop? Because there is a better chance of an Ace not coming on the flop then one showing up...in which case im in anywayz cause im gonna probably end up commiting myself but i still have a better chance...in reality the BB would have probably put me in anywayz in this siuation so im just trying to get some comments on how others would play in the given situation that im short stacked and players are loose.

Good play. You might have raised a little, but he woulda pushed you in anyways, So I don't think who did the betting PF, any raise was going to be all-in eventually.

Welcome this call, the only hand you are afraid of is AA, and meh, he only had half of it. You had 10 bb's, the blinds were 2 hands away, eating another 1.5, there was 2.5 in the pot already, pushing wasa good idea. The bubbles close, but not close enough to slide in with only 10 bb's. You need chips for the home stretch.

????????

Very standard. Wtf are you gonna do raise to 400 with 600 behind it?

I like this move, but in SnG's, I let myself get down to 7 BB's when the stacks get this big to play all in or fold PF. I'm not averse to a 10BB rule, but in SnG's the stacks can get very small all around the table.

Looking at the stacks, raising to 250-300 is gonna induce an all in from just about any Ace so I like it that you made the move yourself. Not really a bad beat. The only had that you have to fear is AA, but the only hands he has to fear are AA, KK, QQ, and AK. I wouldn't call here with AQ, but a lot of people will and you want that.
