3 people left, I was in the BB, i could have checked, or pushed... what do you do

also, talk about a bad beat

[AJ]

Absolutely the right play - tough board. Stuff happens. Keep getting your money in the pot with the best hole cards like you did.

OK. So I am a dat bored. But the point is, the only chance to get him out of this hand, you had to push on the flop. But you didn't really have the stack to push him out. If he were very tight, he may have folded. But with so much money in the pot, and you so small trying to protect your blinds. It probably would have happened no maktter how you played this.

Bad beat. What the hell was he thinking when he called you? You played it perfectly and he caught a runner-runner.
