I have been rethinking this play for a few days and cannot decide if I would do the same again.
Situation: NL daily tourny at my local casino 35$ buy in 4k chips and 12 min blinds. It is early in the tourny and i am in the small blind and am delt AsQc the are two callers and I raise 3x blinds big folds other two call.
Flop comes Qs4h 7s the first peson raises 6x blinds second calls and I go all in.
Now my reasoning behind this is the pot is now 60% of my stack and I am pretty sure one person hit the Queen or has a big pair and the other is on a flush draw, but I hold the nut spade so they cannot be too confident in their draw anyway right?
Well the pair does fold and the other guy rolls over Js9s and is on a draw.
Turn card: 6s ( he makes his flush)
River: Qh (i make set but pointless)
Now this isnt a bad beat whine but I would like some opinions on this
play and help me decide if I would do it the same again or would a good player even make that call anyway

with that small a stack there isnt much else you can do.

You have to get some chips somehow and you cant do that without risk. You got your money in as a big favorite and it didnt work out for you. thats poker.

With a big stack you wouldnt want to push because youd want to be able to get away from it if someone hit a set or something. With a small stack you cant get away from it.

Mistake 1- raise more preflop, you're not knocking out any hands with such a small raise after limpers.

Correct play with the All in.

You want to be raising 3-4x + xlimpers. So if you normally raise 3x you want to raise 5x to account for limpers.
