I have a decent stack, 2nd chip leader if I recall correctly. We're down to 7 with the top 5 getting paid equally. There's a mid-position raise to 1800 with the blinds at 200/400 and I wake up with QQ and shove. Folded round to the raiser who calls, and why not - I would too in his position unless he was on an absolute bluff steal.
Mistake number 1 (and the only one I needed to make) - why did I shove? I wasn't thinking -situationally here. I saw QQ and shoved into a decent raise knowing he would call. He's not likely to have anything that I have dominated enough to make this a good shove as I have priced him in to the call. I am gambling and with no need when there are short stacks at the table. This was really stupid play and the worst thing is I paused over the button before shoving. I knew what I was doing was stupid but did it anyway.
I survived the flop but the turn did the damage and the river was just a kick in the teeth for lousy play. I should have folded pre-flop but the eyes lit up with QQ
