First off, as you can see, I am shortstacked. I knew here that I was facing a flush or a flush draw at my best scenario. I flopped a set, and decided to push the rest of my stack after a guy raised big. In normal circumstances I can lay this down, but I was too short stacked and I knew I had a few outs and hoped to get lucky. 1992 people started, I finished 125, not too bad, but not in the money. I didn't really consider pot odds here, it's not like the pot was small or anything. Average stack was about 25k, blinds were at 250/500 - 50 ante. Any advice?
