    Flat call sucks, because you don't know his hand.. I dunno if that could be avoided.

    mistake 1: min/raise preflop. M=6 ish, just push.
    mistake 2: push flop (see above) or just check, hoping villian will check down to maximize elimination of short stack.

    mistake 3: thinking you can get away from JJ vs AA with this small of a stack, ever.

    1: Minraises were usually enough to steal the blinds at this table. Which was nice, because I could minraise any 2 in CO/BN and get away cheap if played back. Why would I need to push if minraising is enough?

    2: Right. Overcards would fold anyway and I wouldn't.

    3: Yup. Results-oriented thinking. I shouldn't post a HH right after busting out.
