£1500 BH crucial hand

edited September 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Hand from the BH last night, If i won this there is a very good chance of me winning it but as it ended I was left crushed.I am not sure on my raise pre for starters, I did this becuse the two players i was raising into had been passive an happy folding most hands, Also I hadnt done this before and was playing quite tight so thourght it was believable. 
On the flop I bet small, both to entice a shove from the short stack and also to not commit myself if the large stack decides to move all in. As it stood was the shove right?
Was I just unlucky or should I fold pre/on the flop? The fact that he had Q3 was I lucky to see that hand and most times he has 77+. Should I be scared that the big stack could have me beat and fold in case he has 77+ and puts me out of the torny?

    Would you have posted this if you held?

    I think it's fine if your reads are accurate and they're folding a lot. I might flat his shove though. 

    I probs just min raise on the btn too

    This is an easy fold on the flop we have lead out on the flop which is fine then we get flatted followed by an allin and a player yet to act behind us this is a snap fold.  However i do like your aggresion preflop people fold way too many marginal hands on the button in tournaments and simply blind out.

    Yeah maybe you're right actually. Didn't notice the other caller - probably a fold looking back. Still kinda tilting, raising w/ 36 flopping top pair and a gs. I probs still call in play lol

    yeh you have the same thinking as me preflop. As for the call/fold I was considering the fold because of the person behind me who called 3000 but I was calling 9000 more for 34000 chips + a bounty. I cant see him having 77+ as I think he wouldnt call pre just shove it in. So what am I behind to that calls pre and shoves that flop?

    As for the other guy I have no clue what he has.?!

    I dont see how you can do things any different, i think its just one of them situations where you got unlucky as they hit their flush with runner runner, you were right to do what you did in my opinion and i would play it like that everytime as you hold up 8/10 times
