Converted 25 PTS on Bovada to register into this tournament.

65 mins late registration.

So starting off, my goal was to survive past the late registration period.

Total of 300 entrants and no re-entries.

To be honest in that period I only looked at the 'average-stack' statistic and made sure my stack was around that number.

65 mins went by, late reg closed.

49 players remain at this point.

15 places get a qualifier ticket which would be the 'bubble' here.

I had the BTN when the late reg closed.

By the time it was one orbit after late reg, there were 34 players remaining.

I was Big Blind with 3.25bb short stacked.
1bb was already committed to the pot.

C/O is chip leader with 30bb.

So here's the action:

----------------------------------------------------------

c/o: 30bb raises to 3bb (which is basically 0.25bb less than my entire stack)

SB: fold

BB (HERO): all-in with (7h 3h)

Everyone else folds.

c/o: calls the remaining 0.25bb :D

Flop: 7c 8h 8d

Turn: Js

River: 2c

Villain shows Qs Jd (hits Jack pair on river) and wins.

Finished 33rd

----------------------------------------------------------

I was hoping to catch one of these:
a. heart flush
b. 7 high straight
c. set or 2 pair atleast

What do you think about shoving 7h 3h in such a situation?

because this is a super satellite situation (if I understand correctly) then survival is your primary goal.

you need to muck that 73s because he jammed into you, and you have no fold equity and far below an average hand.

if you are on the bubble in a MTT you can consider playing some "live cards" in these spots because you want to make a run at the top pay spots, but because of this structure all pay spots are the top pay spots, so just let it go.
